Default Lug nut size

I'm putting on a lift this weekend, but I can't get the lug nuts off with the supplied lug wrench. I will need to use an impact. What size socket fits the stock lug nuts? Thanks.

Do not use an impact to break tension. Break tension with a wrench and then use the impact. The reason you can't fit the supplied lug wrench is because someone used an impact and ruined the alloy party wrapper.

I agree, do not you an impact gun, you will distort the tin covers.
Use a 24" breaker bar and a 1 1/16th 6 point socket.

27mm or 1 1/16th is the socket size when they're new. I often have to use a 1 1/8th socket to remove severely distorted lug nuts. It they are so bad that that size won't work, I then peel the alloy away from the steel lug underneath and pound a 25 or 26mm socket on.
