If you purchased the R26 in the 16+4 lock format, the issue is really the key (socket adapter for the locks) is too shallow and will touch the top of the studs before, they can engage the nut all the way through.

75mm or 90mm; you will need open ended type, in most cases.
we sell studs that are street use only that are much shorter for close-end lug nuts, but these are not the same grade steel that is used on most of the competition style lug nuts.
