I can go measure my filter later with a caliper. However, you really don't need to tighten it so much, it's written on the filter to lube the o-ring then tighten ~3/4-7/8 of a turn after contact. I've always been able to remove my filters by hand. If you need a wrench (or how some stick a screwdriver through it) it's being installed tighter than necessary.
