either a 17mm or a 19mm, pretty sure its the 17mm-use an extension and a socket + breaker bar.

Default I think it's an 18. And you will need to use an impact wrench unless you have a lift.
No way to break that bolt loose with the limited room inside the wheel bay.

18, and an inpact gun makes them come off easy, get a good quality deep inpact socket
