The lug nuts have been that size for a long time (they are that size on my C5).

Lug Nut Socket? (Size?)
Might be a dumb question...
I have a TQ Wrench/ Breaker Bar and I need to get a lug nut socket for the thing.
I had one for my last car, but it was just slightly off, and I scuffed the lugs pretty bad over 5 years.
Anyone have a link to a good one from Amazon? (I only say amazon because I am 'prime')
How do you guys keep them scratch free?
I have black rims so I am hoping to get one that doesn't 'rub' on the outside of the lugs against the black paint.

I keep one in each truck, one in the toolbox on the boat trailer, and one in the toolbox in the garage.

Used for 5 years on C6 black lugs, works great on my C7 chrome lugs as well.

I didn't know exact one off the top of my head, but what I did know is that one of those fits my Vette; as well as all 11 vehicles in the paddock. Also, the sets that I have that are aluminum tend to do less damage to lugs over time than steel.
