Thanks to a local tire store, my lug nuts sizes now vary from 1" to 1 1/16" (27mm OEM) to 1 1/8" due to deformed ss caps. I've decided to remove the caps and carry a 1" breaker bar to remove the lugs. The below link is a quick way to remove the SS cap from the lugs. I have removed one cap using this method and thought it was worth sharing...
