What size socket fits lugs on stock '05' SSR?

I know, all I have to do is take off the lug cover and check myself.... , but I know someone here knows the answer before I could even check it. I want to buy a socket, 3" extension, and long pry bar to carrier in my new ride in case I have a flat...God forbid? Anyway, I have a small floor jack, plug kit and now I need socket.
Thanks to anyone who answers.....

I'd recommend going to a bicycle repair shop, and getting one of the small plastic pry bars used on bicycle tires. The ones I have are perfect for removing the cap by pulling on it rather than attempting to pry it off. If the ones you find are a bit oversized, it doesn't take much to grind the plastic down to a size that will slip into the access hole.

The cap is easily damaged, so extra care is advised. Attempting to use a screwdriver or small pry bar on the access hole can damage the plastic, or flake the paint.

Another option is to rotate the cap about 1/4" and hook it with your "first" finger tip in two locations and pull directly outward...

This is what works for me and it doesn't hurt the cap paint.

My only ? is "WHAT'S WRONG WITH SEEING LUGNUTS"???? I bought Chrome plated cool wheels for my 2003 Montana and I made sure I got visible lugnuts and I think they look great. I don't understand this Designer's obcession with hiding lugnuts. I won't go any further analytically because I might get sued but I do have my own opinion based on 42yrs working with "Picture Painter's/Stylists" now called Designers.
