can I use stock lug nuts?

with aftermarket wheels (MB Weapon, 17x8)? Anybody has done it?
The stock lug nuts are from 2006 18" wheels.

Look at the seat of the OEM lug nut.
Look at the seat in the opening in the wheel.
Are they the same shape?

thanks, but I haven't bought the MB Weapon wheels yet - I'm trying to sort out all details before placing the order.

Depends on the seat angle like davidv said. Looks like you will have plenty of room as far as the diameter of the OEM lugs is concerned. And for whatever it's worth, I have a set of SSR comps which I believe are what the MB weapon is based on, and I use OEM lugs with those.
