Socket size for stock lug nuts

Anybody know the socket size for the stock lug nuts? I know they're M12x1.5, but I'm not at the car now and need to pick one up on the way home.

BTW - I found that the 21mm socket is a little loose, but one of my spark plug sockets fit perfect. I think it was the 13/16 but I could be wrong, maybe 7/8.

I have both a 13/16 and 21mm socket. I use the 21mm for everything now even if it isn't a snug fit. Tapping the lugnuts out of the socket is annoyance enough, and the slight looseness hasn't created any damage I can find.

Good point, I ended up using the 21mm anyway.
