Default Do i need new lug nuts?

Hello there,
I purchased a set of wheels from a 2000 durango 4x4 last week (15x8). These replaced the stock 15x6 rims. Took them down to a tire warehouse today and got some new tires installed. The tech told me I should get new lug nuts… Do i need new lug nuts or are the stock ones okay to use? If i need new lugs, do I order them for a 2000 durango since my rims are originally from one?

Why did he say you needed new lug nuts? Did they have issues mounting the new wheels with the old lug nuts?

All he said was that they worked, but I needed to get new ones… When i picked up the truck, the lugs were too short. The size of them caused them to somewhat dig into the lug hole in the new rims. I got new ones yesterday, 1.5" long and chrome.

Well there you go. No way I would know if you need new lug nuts without seeing the wheels or told why someone else said you needed new ones.
