Help needed: Lug Nuts

For people who have extended wheel studs (like 60mm?), what kind of lug nuts do you guys use?

Since I see alot of aftermarket open-end lug nuts say: "for AFTERMARKET RIMS ONLY"

please advise

Edit1 : will something like this fit on our OEM rims as well as Aftermarket rims?

Edit2: The reason I am asking is that with the extended lug nuts (which were used to fit a 15mm spacer), I am afraid that the stock lug nuts won't be able to accomodate the extra stud lenght when I put on the stock rim with the spacer removed.

You can use Rays extended closed lug nuts, that fit over extended lugs. But those are pretty expensive. Or you can use open ended spline drive lugs and they'll work just fine.

I dont see why you couldnt use them on OEM wheels. As long as they're acorn style then you'll be fine.

sorry for being dumb, but what is "acorn" style? since it is my first time trying to look for aftermarket lug nuts, and all I can see on the lug nuts' websites are "tapered" design... which I am not sure if that will work with OEM wheels.

Thanks again bro

It's the part of the lug that meets the wheel. The wheel encaves a little for the lug to seat inside of that. There's acorn style and then the OEM style that Toyota uses where there's a washer attatched to the lug. Our cars are acorn style or tapered. They are reffering to people trying to use them on wheels that dont accept acorn lugs. But all of our oem wheels use acorn lugs so go right on ahead and use these.
