wheels..... wells too deep..

ok im on the verge of swapping my standard wheels for some 17 inch rims ive picked up.... but on first attempt ive hit a snag...
the wells for the nuts are a lot deeper and quite narrow... so i cant get the locking key over the locking nut to tighten it.... i think the others should be ok tho... anyone come across this before ??
soloutions ??? if i bin the locking nut how easy is to find a standard replacement ?

Shouldnt be a problem. Depends on your tyres tho - are they already equipped with tyres?

We can help you mate.
