I keep a star lug wrench in the Jeep. Not a little one - one with a big enough span to get some leverage. On trail runs, I bring a big breaker bar, an impact, and appropriate socket as a part of the toolkit.

A lot depends on your wheels. On my last set the chrome lug nuts were recessed into holes and were 13/16". The only socket I could find with an outside diameter small enough to get in the holes was a Craftsman sparkplug socket, so I bought a few of them and took the rubber out, then carried one in my Jeep with a 6" extension and a breaker bar, and threw the other couple in my tool box. My new wheels take a 3/4" socket, but I still use the breaker bar and extension. I find it easier to store than a star wrench.

Look at the Gorilla locking lugnuts and the lug wrench to go with them. It is very stout and collapsible.

This works well and you can throw it under your seat:

If they're the type of wheel I'm thinking of with a small diameter deep hole for the lug nut, just go get a thin-wall socket to fit, likely a 13/16". My first aftermarket wheels were American Eagle 054 and standard sockets wouldn't work on them either.

I went to a tall lug nut similar to this. Haven't had any issues since.

I use a 24" breaker bar (1/2") and a deep impact socket...don't know if that would work for you. I have plenty of umph

I picked up a collapsible lug wrench from oriellys for $10. Its done well in the year I have had it.

I'm partial to the old school 4 way. It is a multipurpose tool.

I have kept a 1/2" pull bar, 4" extension and appropriate deep socket in every one of my vehicles for the last several decades. They are a lot better option that star wrenches for with it you have 3 sockets not needed and more leverage. Of course at home I have the 1/2" air drill.

Of course in my pickups, I also kept an 8,000 pound bottle jack.
