Thanks for the ideas, =Enigma=. I'll pack a breaker bar and a couple of sockets (you're right -- each wheel, as I recall, does include one locking nut). As for the idea of buying an air pump, I can't justify the cost for just this one isolated situation. Cheaper and more efficient to just pull the wheels and take them to a gas station. Right??... Thanks for your input, all!

Good point. I do seem to remember (although I was only 12 years old at the time) that the "mags" were a dealer-installed option. I brought it up only in case the lug nut size was different.

Thanks, zKars, for the info (and the good wishes). That helps me pare down how many tools I have to pack! (egh, I'm afraid the original lug wrench is probably long gone, along with the jack... )

I admit this is a dumb question, but I'm in CA, and my elderly mother's 1973 240Z is in Loveland, CO. I'm going there Thursday to help sort though her stuff in preparation for moving her to an assisted living facility. The car has been sitting in her garage for 20 years and the tires are nearly flat. I'll need to remove the wheels in order to take them to a gas station and pump up the tires so the car can roll (it doesn't run). My question is: what size socket should I take with me to CO for the lug nuts? The wheels are the original slotted "mags." Once I get there, I'll take photos and place a "For Sale" ad on this site. It should make a nice restoration project for someone. Thanks
