Not that I know of man. Unless you can get one through the company you are gonna have to pound a smaller socket onto them or use one of those rounded bolt removers both ways ruins it. That is what we had to do when I did tires at Sears.

+1 That's about your only option due lack if clearance to the lug nuts from being recessed into your wheels a little bit. Otherwise, an air chisel usually does the trick. Take it to a shop somewhere. I know that Snap-on makes a kit just for dealing with this, someone should have one somewhere. It's basically an impact socket with a left handed thread inside of it, you pound it on and give it hell with an impact gun.
