Should be the same size as your other tires,3/4" socket and you may need the lock key if you have the locking lug nut on your spare.

Maybe a dumb question, BUT, some of the chrome caps have fallen off my lugs so the bare lug nuts are exposed. Does this change the size of the lug socket required? I imagine it would. Anyone know what size?

it might change some what but Not enough to put you in a bind. I have had them fall off of other jeeps I owned in the past and never had any problems with the lugs and my 4way bar.

You should be ok

When a couple fell off mine, I tried to get a nut off with the lug wrench. It grabs, then lets go and rounds off the hex head. I had to get an 18 mm (I think it was) and hammer it onto the stripped nut and then wrench it off. Not too bad of a PITA, but it would have been if I hadn't had that smaller socket handy.
