Nope not good.
You need a deeper style lugnut or they can work loose and fall off. Same thing happens when you use lugs intended for aftermarket rims on stock rims.

I forget which has which, but you have either conical or tapered lug nuts. You arent suppose to mix them. But I unawaringly used my OEM lugnuts with Rotas for a long time...wheel never fell off

Yeah I run tapered on my stock rims and I just have to check them every couple days. It's just something you should keep an eye on if you drive it for a couple days or weeks like that.

As everyone said why take the chance? Driving down the road in your pimped out ride and your wheel comes off DOH!
OEM wheels use ball/spherical shaped lug seats. Aftermarket wheels use conical/tapered shaped lug seats.

Yeah some wheels you need skinny lugs. I got McGard SplineDrive lugs and they work on all my aftermarket wheels and have a ball bearing seat so it doesn't scratch up your rims as much.
