Stupid question about RPF1 and lugnuts

Hey so I purchased RPF1's for the Evo while I'm over seas and I'm just wondering whether the oem lugnuts that come with the car will fit flush with the wheels or should I get some skinny acorns? Basically if the oem will fit without issues or damage to the wheel itself I'll keep em but if not. I'd like to know. Thank you.

Nope, you can't run the oem lug nuts with them. You have to get the conical/taper seat lug nuts.

Check out the McGard Splinedrive if you're extra **** about the wheels, a bit more pricey then the Gorillas though.
