Stock lug nuts are acorn and have a spherical seating surface, as do OEM wheels.

Aftermarket wheels usually have a conical seating surface and require lug nuts that match.

If you use stock lug nuts on aftermarket wheels, you're just asking for trouble because only a tiny part of the spherical surface will be touching the wheels instead of the full seating surface holding the wheel on like a nut w/ a conical seat.

Think about sticking a ball into a cone (tennis ball sitting in the top of a funnel or something). You only have a small circle of ball surface area touching the cone. That's how it is if you use OEM lug nuts on aftermarket wheels.
