Question Got Wheels...Need Help

Ok so I finally got my new wheels and tires in the mail a couple days ago, after ordering them about a month ago (long story).

I got 19"x8" G-Games by Rays Wolf 77 2-piece, with 245/35/19 Nitto Invo tires. They came mounted and balanced, with centering rings.

I also bought a few weeks ago a set of Rays lug nuts. My problem is, the Rays lug nuts do not fit my Rays wheels...go figure? More specifically, the lug nuts are too big to fit in the small circle that they are supposed to. Ok actually I can just barely squeeze them in there, but then there is no room to fit the socket over them to tighten them.

What should I do? Does anybody know of a really small brand of lug nuts I can use? Or even better, does anybody else have these wheels, and if so what lug nuts do you use?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I actually have a problem with that as well, but on a different set of wheels..
what you can do is buy another socket from autozone that is actually
thinner. It is not really meant to tighten lug nuts but it sure does work!

Once you buy the socket, you can just buy the housing for it (dunno what
it's called) that has a long stick so you get more torgue.. or jsut extend it
using a pipe.
