Default What size are O2 sensors?

Does anybody know the size of the O2 sensors? I'm not using rear O2's and I'm looking for plugs to put in the bungs. I've tried a handfull of different sizes and none of them worked, so now I'm wondering if it's some weird size....
Thanks....

I know that they are the same size as spark plugs, if that helps. I can't think of the size of a spark plug socket off the top of my head, but that would be the size of the 02 plugs.

I have also heard that some oil drain plugs will fit too.

I have been told they are the same as large Ford spark plugs.

Yep, when I got to work this morning, I measured them with the digi calipers (17.70mm). I then measured a 18mm plug (17.70mm actual diameter). So, now I have two 18mm plugs, I just hope the thread pitch is the same....
Thanks for all the help!
