Help!!!

Okay i bought some aftermarket wheels 17 by 8 and i can get them to fit on my wheel studs but the Aftermarket lug nuts that i got will not fit because it seems like the wheels do not have enough room for lug nuts... Someone please let me know the Exact fitment for 2nd Gen TL's The offset and the spacing and all the nic nacs to go with it... I want to keep it 17 in. because i am going to drop the car 4 in. so i want pleanty of room in the fenders.

Are they thin wall tuner lug nuts that you received? You may have to go to a local tire shop and buy a set of new lug nuts (quickest) way to get a proper fitting set or just talk to who shipped you the lug nuts and try to get the thinner versions, if you don't have those to begin with.

BTW: Around here a set with a tuner key to take the lug nuts off usually runs anywhere between 20-50 dollars.

the wheels fit but seems like they need some really thin lugnuts in order for them to fit, tuner lugnuts the ones i had were too wide and can not even reach the treads of the wheel studs...

I didnt have thin ones, he sent me some regular ones after i asked him if they would fit small lug nut holes and the guy told me yes and the lugs were too wide for the holes so now does anyone know of any thin lugnuts and where i can buy some at???
