Got the wrong lug nuts with Enkei wheels
I bought Enkei Racing RPF1s 18x8 and 18x8.5 for my Z. I spent all day installing longer studs, rotors, spacers, wire brushing my calipers, having a great day until I finally got the wheels on the car. The lug nuts Tire Rack provided me make it impossible to get a tire iron or socket onto the lug nuts. I checked the wheel holes, and something like a 18 or 19mm fits inside the hole, while a 22mm or 13/16ths ( the size I got with my Enkei) don't fit at all. Can I get a smaller lug nut that fits on my threads? Or did I buy mismatching wheels for my studs? Please help me find a solution. Thanks.
Edit - maybe I just need a 13/16ths thinwall socket? I'm reading about them now.

I spoke to my "racing mentor" today and showed him the lugs and wheel. Apparently Tire rack gave me the STOCK lug nuts, not enkei lugs. He thinks I should go Gorila wheel locks all around, they fit perfectly.
