Matthew,

Although the OE Vanagon lug wrench is a much more capable tool than its
appearance would lead one to believe (God bless German metallurgy), it does
have its limitations.  I managed to split the socket of one with the aid of a
3 foot long cheater.  Sooner or later you will need a real lug wrench, so why
not get one now.  In the correct orientation, it will stow under the rear
seat.  Just make sure you get an AMERICAN made, metric 4-way and you will not
scorn the thought of changing a wheel so much.
