I think that's his name. Been there well over 20 years, knows his stuff. Just ask for the part guy who has been there forever. See if you can e-mail him the pics so he understands what problem is.

(And you do notice your torque spec at end of lug nut? I looked all over one day looking for it, and there it was stamped right into the end:))
IMO you just need longer studs. www.autotiresupply.com/ web site doesn't have lug nuts listed but I think they have them.
