I'll be taking my wheels off for the first time to install spacers.

What is the conventional wisdom these days regarding type of socket to use - 5 sided socket or "sawtooth" socket?

Also, assuming lug bolts are 18mm, any harm in using 3/4" socket?

TIA

Lug nuts are usually 6-sided (hexagonal) and 19 mm (~3/4"), and it's best to use a 6-point socket not a 12-point because 12-points are more likely to slip.
