Need expert help! New Spacers and aftermarket lugs won’t sit flush!

I recently bought 15mm (front) & 20mm (rear) spacers for my 2019 maxima. However, when I attempted to install the spacers the lugs don’t sit flush against the wheel base. All after market lugs that are open ended have a cone shape end which causes it to not sit completely flush against the wheel like the factory lugs do.

Im trying to stay positive but I think I’m screwed. I don’t feel comfortable having that gap between the lug and the wheel. I don’t get why Nissan would make a wheel base that needs these specialty lugs. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Why do you want spacers?

You need mag seat type lug nuts or get different wheels that use a tapered lug seat to match your new lug nuts.
