My suggestion would be to just not use the tuner lugs that you got with the rims. Your car's threads should be long enough to go through the rims' holes; so just slap on your stock lugnuts (maybe buy a pack of locks as well), and you should be good.

If anyone else can chime in with suggestions, don't let me stop ya!

yeah problem solved got a set of locks from local car shop, thought i needed smaller lugs just didnt know if they existed , thanks and i wioll learn fast about beyond to become a better member.

You just got the wrong lugs from the guy that you bought the wheels off. He gave you one's for a VW which are lug bolts, not lug nuts. Good to see that you got the right ones.
