Let's face it, the American Car is _almost_ totally metricized now, so
that it can be manufactured anywhere. So there's a lot of need for
metric.


What is left in SAE?


Tire rim diameters for one. I've not checked the lug nuts,
specifically, recently...


AFAIK, tire sizes on all cars are some *******ized mix of SAE &
Metric. But they all follow the same spec.

One thing that is allegedly universal is the tire Schrader valves.
(If I can believe Click & Clack...)
