Default Lug nut and oil plug size?

Hi everyone,
I have a newbie question regarding the size of the lug nuts and oil plug on my 2007 Honda Accord LX V6.

The original wheels are 17" with tire size 215 / 50 / 17. I want to rotate the tires and bought a set of SAE sockets. I tried all of them, but they're a bit loose, so I suspect they may be metric instead. (I didn't try removing the wheels with the SAE for risk of rounding the nut). Does anyone know what the exact size the lug nuts are?

The same question for the oil plug? Does someone know what size they are? and if they're metric/SAE?

Thanks!

Usually on Honda's the oil plug is 17mm and lug nuts are 19mm. If that's changed for 07 I don't know about it but virtually every Honda I've delt with uses those two sizes.

Common honda sizes: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 15mm, 17mm, 19mm
those are the most common wrench sizes on any honda. yes some bolts don't fall into that category but most do.

That's right. a 3/4" should fit the lugs.

on my 96, for some reason the SAE actaully fits better than the metric. maybe my metric sockets are just worn.
