Buy the nuts at an autoparts store, AutoZone, PepBoys, Advanced, etc. It can be done with a ratchet, but it will take a lot longer. You'll need one 18" long or so to make it easier as you need about 100-120 ft/lbs minimum torque to get things seated properly. With a 5mm spacer you'd be fine with the stock lugs, but at 10mm I would be a little concerned.
