Default Lug Nut Extender

My wheels have deep and narrow lugnut wells, where the stock lug wrench that came w/ my JK can not reach the lugnuts on the spare. Does anyone know where I can buy a lug nut extender that will attach to the stock wrench, so I can remove my spare?

I bought the following from Quadertec thinking this would do the trick, but it does not work w/ the stock lug wrench.

Get a deep well socket with an extension and breaker bar.

Thanks DD, but I was hoping to be able to find an extender that I can keep in my Jeep, just in case i need to change a flat using the stock lug wrench.

I bought the gorilla lug wrench from quadratec it has a longer neck off a 90 degree angle and comes with deep well sockets to fit lugs plus it's small enough to fit in rear cargo tray

I had the same problem with my wheels as well. I use a thin walled 19mm socket that I bought at a simple hardware store. It works well.

I also mention it to the shop when I go in for my free tire rotations.
