Question Will my stock lug nuts work with aftermarket rims?

i ordered a set of Mickey Thompson Classic II's and forgot lug nuts. The rims are being mounted, balanced, and installed tomorrow and i was wondering if my lug nuts will work with them. I googled it but no luck. All I know is Classic II's need cone style lugs and im 80% sure that our lugs are cone style too. If i need new ones ill need to get them today at pep boys or something cause i wont have any time tomorrow. please let me know!

I doubt it very much. The backspacing of the those Classic II's will require a decent length lug nut. I know the ones on my 17" stockers from '04 were NOT long enough...

I know my stock lugs didnt work with my aftermarket rims because of that flange on the bottom of the lugs wouldnt fit in the lug wells. The lugs a re 9/16 in case you need to know. I went to AutoZone, Advanced and Oreillys looking for them and ALL of them had everything EXCEPT 9/16 for some reason. None of them stocked them and I though that was so strange. I ended up having to go to a rim shop and get them. It was $35 for new lugs a locks.
