Default What size socket do I need for Lexus wheels?

Hi all,

Just a quick simple question. What sized socket do I need for my torque wrench to torque the lug nuts on Lexus wheels?

21mm. I'm assuming that's the case for all Lexus', since it also fits other Japanese cars I've tried too.

13/16" used to fit my other Toyota lugs snugly but with the LS it won't go and I use a 21mm. May depend on the socket manufacturer.

13/16" = .8125"
21mm = .8268"

My current lugs won't take 13/16. 21mm is perfect.
