Default Help! Wheel bolt nut size?

Sorry to bother you all,

I am about 5000 miles away from my car, and online through my infrared cellphone connection, so I can't do an extensive search... Therefore I ask:

What is the socket size I need for tightning/loosening the wheel bolt nuts??

I bought a torque wrench here (very affordable tools here - I'm on vacation in the US right now) and I also want to buy (at least) a socket for the wheel nuts, but I can't remember the size!!! (I thought it was maybe 19 mm - metric)??

I am not sure if I buy a socket in Holland (where I live) it will fit the 3/8" connector on the US torque wrench... So, that's why I want to buy it here.

What other socket sizes do you recommend for the torque wrench? (For under hood stuff)?

Thanks for your help!

19 mm is the size. 3/4 inch also works fine since 19 mm = 0.748031496 inch

I verified this with a socket in my garage just now.

10mm 12mm 14mm are all common ones on our cars for various bolts.
