Question Lugbolt Sizing Help

Hi all, I just bought a set of winter wheels and tires for my car second hand. They fit great and correct offset/bolt pattern etc. However the lugbolts that it came with are for a Mini Cooper, and my OEM lugbolts do not fit since the head is just a bit large.

Tirerack has them available at $3 a piece and has them described as 12X1.5 UL28 TL50 on the invoice, I'm assuming this is sizing information but have not been able to find a match online yet. Is anyone familiar with this and can point me in the right direction to find the lugbolts I need?

Interestingly, the bolt itself it what doesn't clear the wheel lug holes. I have a few thin wall sockets. I'll check those out

That's weird. I'm looking through the parts catalog and all the Mini's use a 14x1.25 lug bolt. Which should have a larger head.

So something is up here and I'm not sure what.

The wheels are from tirerack so they're not necessarily stock mini sizing, the threading is of course but the head is definitely different.
