Hi everyone, I recently got a set of Enkei wheels for my Model 3 and I was wondering if anyone has had an issue using the factory lug nuts with the aftermarket wheels? The wheels and the lugs both have the same conical shape (60 degree taper?) where the lug clamps the wheel, but the aftermarket wheel has a shorter taper than the factory Tesla wheel. I have seen a few pictures in the aftermarket wheel thread where the factory lug is seated, but the lug taper is not completely in sunken into the counter bore on the aftermarket wheel like it is on the factory wheel. Someone posted that this is due to the fact that most aftermarket wheels are for M12 threads and not M14.

I would prefer to keep the stock lugs over aftermarket lugs. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
