Default lug nut size and torque setting

hey guys tried a search and I think I found my answer but wanted to be sure before I went out and spent the money, as many of you have found, one of my rear wheel lug nuts has rounded a bit (that stupid tin cover) and now I need to do the brakes. I am about to go to harbor frieght and get a 6 point socket to remove it but was not sure of the correct size (I have a D1 and didnt know if there was any difference from the D2) I also noticed there was a few people saying go standard and a few saying go metric, keep in mind my lug nut is slightly rounded so if the smaller of the 2 options will be more hassle then please let me know. I am also unsure of the actual torque setting but I would prefer to do it right, I am sure I could look this up in the rave manual but something like this you guys are usually faster!

Thanks guys

I want to say 1 1/6th" (fits tight) and 103lbs. I will go out and check my lug nut socket give me a couple minutes.

1 and 1/16th 6 point is right but if you have old lug nuts and the tin covers have been stretched a little, they will be tight.

Sears had the 1 1/16" 6 point socket, so I got that and the lug nuts all came off. Thanks again guys.
