yeah the stock tire iron won't fit. I'm not exactly sure what you need, I had some sockets around the house that fit just fine

Take one of your lugs to Lowes/Home Depot/Sears and see what fits.

Make an impression of the lug nut with playdo. Take the impression to the store. Buy the proper socket.

if this is the same problem i ran into before, you might need to get the thin wall 21mm as mentioned above.

Craftsman's lug socket set doesn't even come with a 21mm. Can anyone recommend a set that has a deep 21mm with thin walls?
