The nuts are marked 19 mm on them.

I've tryed both 19 mm and 3/4". I'm pretty sure that every nut and bolt on the newer vettes were intented to be metric, but in the case of the lug nuts I always use the 3/4" it seem to fit tighter.

I believe it is metric but 3/4 works fine. Tighten to 100 ft lbs in an alternating pattern. (Don't tighten one nut after another but skip over to the next one until you have done them all.)

19 mm is .748 in. and 3/4 in. is .750 in. That's only a differance of .002 in.,
so both wrenches will work fine. :yesnod:
