Default LT4 lug nuts 19mm?

I replaced a couple of "happy caps" today & was checking the the sockets that came with the car. The "key" was fine but the regular socket was way too big. Are the other lugs 19mm or SAE? Where to get the correct one? Part number by any chance?

Thanks!

They are 19mm (our wheel studs are metric) but I've been using a 3/4" wrench for years w/o problems.

3/4" is 19.05 mm. So it's much of a muchness. That's 0.752.

The studs are M12 thread, so I guess 19mm makes sense with the nomenclature.

Just like a 13mm socket will take off a lot of 1/2" nuts (but a 1/2" socket can't handle 13mm nuts).
