Im using the lug nuts that came with the rims, the fronts fit perfect the rear lugs stick out more and the nut doesnt screw all the way tight leaving the rims loose.
they are still 19mm nuts

If you are absolutely sure the rear rims are loose, then they are the wrong nuts.
However, I tend to believe that you just bought yourself a set of staggered wheels.
The front are high-disc and the rear are nomal to low-disc, so the rear lugs will look more stick-out.

I do have staggered rims and just added crossed drilled rotors to rear
my rim guy also said it shouldnt be like that and he couldnt find deeper bolts, so that leaves me with one choice to cut the lugs short with a hack saw, what do you guys think I should do

I would call the place that you got the wheels from. You may need a different kind of shank on the lug.

I ended up getting these, but just by default as there were the only thing that the tire shop had in stock that would fit.

I ended up using open end nuts, I took it for a test drive and started to here clicking sound coming from the rear right side, I took it apart and noticed the little springs in the parking brake shoe came loose, they were a ***** to install them back but got them on and now the rims are on and blinging!
I still wonder why the rear lugs stick out more then the front? how could this be

I haven't taken off the oem wheels/tires so I need to find out...Are the oem lug nuts acorn shaped or the other shape (forgot the name)? Will the McGard lug nuts (in the groupbuy) fit on iForged wheels? Thx!
