Default Lugs nuts wont fit inside rims..... please help

Okay, I just bought some 16" "vsr" wheels, and I also bought some vision lightweight lugnuts, and they really are. Actually look pretty nice too.

But my problem is the pepboy lugnuts I bought like a year ago dont fit inside the wheel, nor do the vision motorworks ones. Does anyone know what the heck I can do about this or any advice???

Ha ha, Im going thru the same ****, learn the hard way, If you are using the stock wheel stud then is a lot easier for you, not my case since Im using extended ARP wheel studs. IN your case Im pretty sure has to do with the coxial tapered at the end of the lug nut, this is the shape of the lug nut itself. The Vision ones, and I have a set right now that im sending back, has this type of shape at the botton and because of that will not fit tru the hole. you need to get one that is flat, kind like the "pretzel Combos" shape" this will fit perfect thru the whole. You can get them at auto zone, 12mmx1.5

belived me I know what Im talking about, going on my third set because I didn't know about the shape size, cosial tapered which kind of look like a arrow at the botton, like the visions,buddy club, skunk2 ect.. then there is the round at the botton, like the ones from factory. then the flat ones and this are the ones you need. if you would have live near me I would have sold you one of my sets, they are brand new. LOL
