Default OEM Nismo wheels lug question

I just purchased a 350z nismo and one of the lugs was missing. I went ahead and ordered MUTEKI 32925BP SR35, but as I was looking deeper into it, I'm not so sure these are the right style lugs for these wheels. Do the Nismo rays use a different taper/style lug nut than what I've ordered?

Drive System External Hex, Spline for the muteki.

Thanks.

Short answer: Yes, they can use a tuner nut like you purchased but best with OEM lug nuts as the taper, while the same as a tuner nut is, well, here's a pic...



On the left, OEM lugnut for all 350Z alloy wheels including Nismo 18/19. Note the depth of the conical taper versus the no-name (but same for the Muteki SRs) on the far right, this depth seats exactly in the Nissan/Nismo wheels and makes for a more secure attachment but again, you can still use a tuner nut.

You CANNOT use the shanked lug in the middle unless running Z34 wheels (which requires them). The other one you cannot use without the possibility of unintended lug loosening is a ball seat lug, designed for wheels with a "ball shaped well" to encapsulate the business end of that type lugnut.
