Are you sure your lug nut wrench/socket is not binding on the sides of the wheel and giving you the "feel" that the lug nuts are tight .. ??

Nope the wrench never even touches the side of the wheels since the wrench itself is angled.

I actually took my lugnuts off the first time I put them on thinking something was wrong and just to inspect the lugs and lo'and behold the sides of the lug nut was way more scratched up compared to before. So yeah, like you mentioned it could be that the lug nuts are binding to the side of the wheel causing it to feel tight... not the wrench/socket... i'm sure this is what you meant right?
