Consider 3/8" size sockets your basic wrench. Add 1/2" and 1/4" to your tool collection after acquiring a complete set of 3/8", both standard and deep. I'm assuming you are working under-hood, whereas underdash clearances like 1/4" better.

Your first 1/2" sockets should be lug-nut sizes--I like deep, 6-points, you won't need an extension and won't mar a nut as easily as with 12-points.

Recently bought my daughters Stanley socket sets to wrench on their Hondas and was impressed with the fit, price and warranty.

Beware of the really cheap no-name stuff which fit poorly and round-over nuts readily.
