Default Lugnuts for Moto Metal MO970 Rims? Help!

Hey guys, been lurking for a while, first post. I have a Dark Shadow Grey 2006 F150 FX4 Extended cab, it has a 2.5 front leveling kit and an extra 1" block in the rear. I just ordered some 20x9 6x135 +18 offset Moto Metal MO970 rims to go with some 35x12.5x20 Toyo MTs. Does anyone know if I can use the stock lugs with these rims, if not anyone know what type I need. These rims have the center cap that covers lugs so they don't need to be pretty, just work. Can anyone help?

I don't think they will fit because they have a tapered end. I forget what kind I got but I'll see if I can find the box.

Can't say for sure, the stock ones didn't work with my dc2's because of the lip on them to hold the stock cap in place, but even with out them I'd have to find a thin wall socket. I got a set of splined lugnuts, they are much smaller in diameter, got a set of 24 on ebay for like 25 bucks.

2X14mm spline... black would look sick... OEM lugs will not work for you.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll look up those 2x14mm spline lugs, color wouldn't matter as they will be covered up anyway by the center cap. Are most short enough to clear the center cap, or is that the 2? And CarlC, do you have these rims or a similar moto metal? Heres what they will be going on, replacing the stock rims with worn out 285/65r18 Trail Grapplers.

I think thats the size. I don't have similar moto metal rims, but these will cover the stud so it's not exposed. It should work with your center caps. Sorry they are sideways.

Thanks for the help. Actually got a call from the company I bought the rims from to verify fitment and they asked if I needed lugs,so to make life easy, I just ordered a set. Just like you said, 2x14mm spline, got the open ended though for a little cheaper seeing as they will be covered anyway. Now the waiting game till they arrive so I can get them mounted, balanced, and throw them on. Then to see if any trimming will be needed. I'll post some pictures once they are on.
