Stock lug nuts on aftermarket wheels?

Hey guys, was just wondering if it's safe to use stock lugs on brand new 19'' wheels. The wheels I have are Ruff Racing with a 3 inch lip in the back and 2.5 in the front. Will it be concerning using regular lugs?

I'm using my OEM, next time i'll swap it with the one that came with the wheels. only difference is that the aftermarket one is just a tad longer than OEM.

Why stock nuts..................?

I'm not sure what your wheels look like but if they
fit I don't know why you couldn't. My wheels came
with spacific lugs and locks but the stock lugs would
have never worked! LOL

yea, it's a hassle using the oem ones because it's deep in the lug hole of the rim and we have to use an extension to torque it.

Just get aftermarket ones... they're not that expensive... are lighter and stronger than stocks... and you can get longer ones to make your life easier
