After market lugnuts
I have a 2015 F-150 and have become a victim of swollen lugnuts. I purchased a set of 24 lugnuts off Amazon. The thing I noticed is the cone is shallower than the original so they recess deeper into the wheel. Is this going to be a problem? Note the documentation on line listed these as being for my truck. Thanks in advance for responses.

You likely don't have the right seat type. From your description you have cone or conical which will seat deeper into the hole. You want to use a bulge type seat on your F150.
