I used to use a set of Griot's Garage thin-walled deep sockets:



Worked great, except there's a plastic/rubber lining on the inside. When I switched over to studs it prevents the nuts from fully seating in the socket (the studs interfere with he plastic/rubber lining on the inside of the socket). I tried a couple of impact sockets and it would rub against the holes in the aftermarket wheel. This is the one I use now (in conjunction with a small 1/2" extension):

Seems to clear both the Apex wheel and OE wheel lug holes fine. With the shortest 1/2" extension attached it gives the torque wrench plenty of clearance from the wheel's spokes. One of the thinnest walled impact socket I've seen.
