Well the 2 1/8th standard, I have that but should I really risk using a standard on a metric nut of that size and torque?

To my knowledge, they are basically identical. I'll find a converter to make sure.
Edit: 2 1/8 inch is less than 1/1000th of an inch too big, so it will work fine, especially on a nut that big.

54mm is official.
2-1/8" is close enough.

That thing is a lifesaver, btw. Makes it super easy to get off.
