What size socket do I need for removing the stock wheel nuts? The largest I have is 19mm and it's too small. I could use the stock wheel wrench but I want to use my impact gun to swap my stock wheels for my new aftermarket ones. I searched, but came up empty.

I have an '08 coupe. The aftermarket nuts supplied with the wheels I bought are 19mm so I'm going to need to keep a 19 in the car for emergencies as well as the stock .

If they're the same as on my girlfriend's '03 (and my '94 Sentra) it should be a 21mm head. The threads are M12x1.25 in case you're ordering new ones.
