Question for you guys - I had my car the shop the other day to get my fenders rolled and when the guy took one of the lug nuts off he commented "...these lugs don't have a lot of bite" meaning that there wasn't as much thread engagement as he expected. I told him I agreed, when I put the wheels on I noticed there wasn't a lot of lug sticking through the wheel for the nut to engage.
Are all you guys with the 9.5 and 10.5 +22 wheels running the standard OEM lugs? Any problems with the nuts coming loose? My gut reaction is that it will be OK, but just curious.

I'm not sure why your car in particular would have less than the required minimum thread engagement. How many turns of the lug before snug tight? IIRC, you need minimum of 6 full turns, which basically amounts to the diameter of the stud.
I will check this when I get home tonight, I need to swap my lug nuts out anyway. I'll count the number of turns and report back.....6 sounds about right though...

I don't remember being concerned when I mounted mine so I guess i had enough for peace of mind 
I am running Gorilla spline drives though, don't think they'd make a difference...

^Yeah the lip has a diamond cut that looks much better when seen in person. I've never seen the LE28N in person but i think their lips are the same.
