Is it 3/4” or is it 19mm?

I second getting a proper deep socket and breaker bar. While you are at it, toss in a torque wrench too.Interesting to note looking at a 4-star lug nut wrench. On one particular bar you have metric [19mm] stamped on the obverse & imperial [3/4"] stamped on the reverse. The other bars have similar characteristics.
Would suggest getting either the 19mm or the 3/4" deep well socket along with a 1/2" breaker bar. The OEM tire changer equipment is mainly for show, IMHO.
In addition, there may come a time when, after an overzealous tire dealer crew member over tightens your lug nuts, you may appreciate the greater mechanical advantage a breaker bar that is 16" to 24" length breaker bar has. You might get a good deal on one or both if you visit a local pawnshop.
Of course, the ultimate is a 1/2" battery powered impact wrench. It is quite useful for a variety of maintenance tasks, not merely just rotating your tires
