Possibly 14mm

When you get the socket let me know, I need to borrow it.

Or buy 2, I will pay you back for one of them.

you dont have a 14mm 12 point? lol i got a few if u need one, goto KMS tools, back of the store in the section with the used stuff, they have a big bin of sockets, i think its like 4.99 for a bag, grab all the sockets you can and fill the bag, almost all metric too, i got 4 bags so far haha, can never have enough sockets.

I had a hard time finding a deep 12 point, 14mm metric socket for mine.  KMS had one for $10 or so.  

The 14mm fits really tight, make sure it's all the way seated before you start cranking on it.  When I was double nutting them I used 9/16" and they had a regular, slightly loose fit.

14mm
FYI Sears has 12pt 1/2 drive sockets on clearance.
I picked up a few today to fit various ARP bolts in the car and 4 sockets were $10 rather than the $24 they should have been.

I found that I didn't need a deep socket, I used the regular 1/2" drive 12 point 14mm that came with my Sears set (from like 20 y.ago).    Perhaps ARP has lengthend the studs?

I went to KMS and picked up a full set of metric 12p sockets, a 1/2" drive extender (6") and a 1/2" driver for $30 (BC DSM Discount)...

Took me about 25min of goin thru their bin, but IMO, it was worth it :)

Side note: didn't need a deep socket, std socket size worked.
