What size are the lug nuts?

I need to buy a new socket to take the lugnuts off our 04 Vibe. It has the 16" Alloy rims. Does anyone know what size these lugnuts are? IS there any issues with fitting a impact socket in the hole? It seems to hug the lugnuts awful close.Thanks,

Some wheels require a thin-wall socket to fit in the lug holes. Impact sockets tend to be a bit thicker and might not fit. Using a thin-wall socket on an impact gun usually breaks the socket when used for something with a higher torque spec.

Thanks for the information, maybe I need to restate it though. What size of a socket do I need to purchase to fit the lug nuts?I will keep an eye on the impact socket vs. regular...

For what it's worth, I just rotated my wife's tires and the lug nuts are the type that go down inside the rim. We have the 16" aluminum up-level rims...
