Anyway I'll pick up a socket tomorrow and see if it fits.

Running 20' Tornado's, and 19mm nuts. As OzXFR says, if yours are not 19mm, little doubt they are stock.
That said, how would your supplier know you are not using stock nuts, if that were the case... Food for thought ;-)

Even though I only needed the 19mm, I got a whole set; a nice thing to have, for not a lot of money. And a Craftsman 1/2" torque wrench...

At my advanced age, the 2 grunts and a fart has become unpredictable and not subject to calibration. An extra deep socket is very helpful for wheel lugs but be sure to offset the twist tendency at the wrench head with an extra deep socket.

Our 2014 w/20" wheels are 19mm.

Of course, maybe they are 3/4"!

I did strip one that was super tight turning a simple job into a major project !! Better to make sure everything is done right the first time !! If you have an older vehicle check nuts for wear it will save you a headache to get a new set of Lug nuts if needed !!
