Reason that im asking is because i put one on. It chipped all the black around the lug hole. Is this something i should be worried about or will this happen to all lug nuts?

And, why didn't you spend the extra coin for the correct lug nuts?

If the seat of the nut matches the wheel you are OK.

Functually there is no such thing as a lug nut that is too long. Too short and the inside of the nut may bottom out on the lug. Not good.
