my socket set goes to 1-1/4": and 36mm.
my e-torx kit has all sizes, one can need.
with no sets. you must measure them. it's not covered in the FSM.
only 175ft/lbs on the axle nut and need for a torque wrench that big.

the better question is ,is the axle nut SAE or metric.
most real Chrysler built are metric.
so that big nut, at that torque needs 1/2' drive
and the torque wrench to match.

you could off the hub cap and measure the nut, with a metric rule.
the external torx same. with a caliper measure the head.
then use the e-torx table to mach it.
bet the first ever to post that. its rare to ask.
most folks just have the 2 sets. ( a life time investment if ever there was)
here is the table i uses, if ever

The axle nut is 118 ft lbs
The other 3 bolts are a 75 ft lbs

If you're trying to loosen the large axle nut, in the center of the rotor, it's either a 32mm or a 36mm socket.

Hello Gadd.
The Grand prix axle nut torque is 118 ft lbs.
It is the same torque value for the three different engines that came on the Grand Prix that model year.

You do not need to pull the axle nut loose the rotor will slide off wheel hub assembly.you might need to tap it off if been on a long time.all that has to come off is the caliper
