Well it’s noble that you’d go out of your way to help him like that

What size wrench do you have/think his lugs are? Wanna make sure I have correct ones before I offer

Alas I'm not mechanically inclined. I drive a civic and it's the wrench that came with it if that helps? I believe he was driving a early 00s oldsmobile?

I think it’s 17mm. Not 100% but almost certain.

Helpers civic will be 19mm, Oldsmobile is likely 21mm, a half size may be needed as they could well be swollen

GM commonly uses 22mm

For the older trucks and SUVs it was an SAE size, however 22mm worked on then. Stuff from the past 10 years or newer I have no idea
