you might want to invest in a set of tools too if you doint have a socket/breaker bar for a simple task like changing a tire

u might also want to look for a piece of pipe to use as leverage on the lug nut wrench because a lot of times they are rusted on or put on with a impact wrench which makes them next to impossible to get off with a standard lug wrench type deal....

If you are using a socket with a breaker bar, or an impact wrench, then the socket size is 13/16 "
