Comments would be appreciated on this one as I have no experience on the matter.
So, you can't find ANY helmet that will fit you. Helmet manufacturers sometimes use the same shell for different size helmets by varrying the amount of foam on the inside. According to Grant Johnson, the guy who runs www.horizonsunlimited.com , you can safely shave out 1/8th of an inch of foam from a small helmet with extra foam compared to a larger size helmet with the same shell but less foam.
Your helmet will probably fit you properly after a year of riding anyway so keep that in mind when adjusting the fit. All of my helmets have gotten loose on me after a year.
