That doesn't sound right. 7/8" is 22.225mm. If they really were 7/8" the 22mm socket wouldn't fit. My guess is they really are 22mm and 7/8" is close but slightly too big.
Are we here to nit pick. You come work on cars I don't own a 22.225mm socket sorry

BTW, if the Hellcats use the same crappy clad covered lug nuts as other SRT cars, ditch those POS and get a good aftermarket set, Gorilla is one mfg.
I ordered black chrome Gorilla lug nuts and locks for mine from Summit.

No I just got four locks. Do all your locks use the same lug key?
All 20 lugs need the key, so there all a lock one benefit and the other benefit they say from this set is, all are the same so the wheel is balanced. I have a mopar lock on there now with the chrome and the thought is that lock is heaveir then the other lugs and causes vibration and balancing issues.

I did not think of that. I will see how it feels when I put them on.

DrBuick manual says the lugs are 22mm. 7/8 is close and would work, but is slightly larger.. I'd be too worried about stripping something on the lugs. From the owners manual:

Lug Nut/Bolt Torque **Lug Nut/ Bolt Size
Lug Nut/ Bolt Socket Size 111 Ft-Lbs (150 N·m) M14 x 1.50 22 mm
