I thought all lug nuts were standard at 3/4 in.

Thanks. I'm investing in a torque wrench and don't want to buy a whole lug socket kit.

19 mm and 3/4" are nearly identical. I use whichever I see first in the drawer.

19mm and 3/4" 6-point sockets are pretty much interchangeable when it comes to GM open end lug nuts.

Since you're "buying" just get the "right stuff" M19 6-point

19mm = 0.748"

So they are only two thousandths (.002) different.

I think GM calls them 19mm though.
