Default gt wheel help

I have an 07 v6 mustang and recently bought these gt take offs... http://www.newtakeoff.com/ProductIma...s/HOL-3590.jpg

I tried putting them but the lug nuts don't seem to fit and the ones i bought from the local auto shop didn't fit either.

Sorry I'm a newbie and don't know much about cars but would appreciate any help and suggestions on how to get these on. thanks!

Remove the center caps before trying to install the rims.
How exactly do they seem not to be fitting.
This post is worthless without pics of the actuall problem.

So far my car has had the stock V6 16" wheels on it, then the 17" Factory Bullitts, then the 17" Premiums like in your picture and now I have the 18" FanBlades. I have used the same lug nuts for all 4 wheel types.

somethin wierd here. those should bolt right up. Do you have a problem with all 4 or have you just tried one? Do you know about the rotor keeper thing they put on at the factory to keep the rotors on. Its a little ring on a couple of the studs to keep the rotor from falling off as its going down the line. Maybe you got 2 on the same place???? Ive got a set of 18" bullits from a GT so I've done some research. Those should bolt right up. Take them to a good tire shop, they'll figure it out.
