Socket Size (mm) for OEM Lug Nuts

Did multiple searches, but didn't find what I'm looking for.

I'm heading to Sears to buy a breaker bar, and need to know the correct socket size for the 1996 SR5 4WD lug nuts.

Thanks in advance.

Brian

I believe lug nuts are 19mm. Make sure you get the torque wrench while @ Sears! Very worth the investement! =)

[edit] I just checked and lug nuts on my 17'' are 21mm.

19mm is on mine. an M12x1.5 isn't going to have a 17mm nut, too thin.

if the pic in his avatar shows the nuts he's talking about, it may very well be 21mm since the stock nuts for the alloys have that thin metal condom on them.
