X5 lugnut size

So I'm looking to swap out my summer tires for winter tires on my 2012 LCI E70 X5. I read online that the lugnuts are 14 mm x 1.5. Can somebody confirm the lugnut size are as I'm looking to buy a wrench soon?

Thanks in advance!

The lug bolts require a 17mm socket if that is what you are referring to?

Yes, that's what I meant; so a 17mm socket is needed to remove the lug nuts?

yeah. If you have a Harbor Freight in your 'hood, they sell an automotive lug socket set for about $20 that has multiple sizes and have rubber sleeves on them to protect the wheel finish. I purchased on a while back and use it all the time. They also sell 1/2" drive breaker bars for dirt cheap that come in very handy for loosening lug bolts that are (always) overtightened by dealer techs.

(be sure and get Metric and not the SAE socket kit)
