Default Ichiba Version II Spacers Problem

I just received them, was all set to put them on but I don't think it will work. The spacers did not come with the special lug tool or lugnuts that are indented. It did come with regular lugnuts. I don't think there is any way to tighten them down because the holes are tapered and a regular lug wrench will not fit. Am I missing something?

post a pic, I just used a ratchet to bolt mine on when I had them, there was no special tool and its not the same size as your lug nuts. Should be really easy to install.

I got the 20mm ones on the back and I had to go buy at autozone a deep socket that would fit into the wholes so i could tighten the nuts it came with.

for the 15mm ones, it came with a deep socket that fitted into the nuts. and on the other end of the socket it had the shape of a 6 face nut. It basically looked like a wheel lock.
