so i bought used MB rims and unfortunately the stock lug nuts dont fit in the holes. So i went to advanced auto and bought some much smaller ones. the nuts fit in the holes but i cant get a tire iron on them. is there a way to solve this? or do i need a new tire iron and probably new again smaller lug nuts?

The factory tire iron won't work. Go out and get the cross bar tire iron. The universal one. That worked for me.

Just use/buy a socket for your nut size. Using a tireiron you can't tq, but you can throw a socket on a tq wrench.
