Sounds like a trip to Harbor Freight may be in store. I have their 1/2" drive torque wrench that I use in combination with a cheap set of deep well sockets that I got there. Perhaps the Chinese sockets are not as thick as other ones, but I have not had a problem getting them on the lug nuts completely. I have been known in the past to use a 1/2" breaker bar with a piece of pipe on it for troublesome lug nuts. Just gotta be careful not to twist off the entire stud and lug nut assembly.
