Default URGENT- Wheel problem

Right folk
I got the Kei force 10s - 18"s
They are - 4x100 and 4x108 et 45
I can get them on the hubs no problem but my nuts are WAY to fat to screw on.
Does this mean they will not fit at all???
Sorry if this sounds stupid
Heres the pic

The nuts fit in the bigger (used holes but the pattern is wrong)

You need special nuts for these wheels, Try your local tyre fitting place or they are available on ebay!

A lot of aftermarket alloys are like that mate, jus helps the design i guess, if your holes were loads bigger the wheel would look different.

Like I said, the number I gave above if ford nut thread.

And 4x108 is ford PCD.

And the nuts i linked to is what you use for skinny holes like that.

Wether the width and offset is any good for you ive no idea, but the wheels WILL deffo physically fit to your hubs!
