Lug nut size?

Does anyone know what size socket I need for my '01 lug nuts/studs?

Something like this makes kicking a thing of the past.

Amazon.com: Wilmar W2 Metric Lug Wrench -14" 4 Way: Automotive

My favorite tool is my wheel hanger, a tool that (along with my other toys) makes swapping my 19" rims with my snows very easy.
