Default lug nuts question

I got a really good deal on some rims and tires off a 2008 Chevy 2500. They are factory rims and upgrading factory tires. They are 265/70R17 Bridgestone Duravis M700 tires with about 1000 miles for $350. I got the lugnuts and center caps off the truck too. Could I use my lugnuts I have now on my aftermarket which are long accorn lugnuts. I would like to use the caps but I dont know if I am able to find some lugnuts that fit my truck that will work. I don't know what kind of lugnuts are factory but the kinda look like a accorn lugnut.

I don't see why you couldn't just use your old lugnuts?

I'm digging the rims, but are you planning on covering up that bowtie?

Well since the bowtie is printed and imprinted on, I like need to fill the impression in. I could maybe use my old lugnuts but then I can't put the caps on the old way

Well I went to get the rims and tires put on but the rims center hole is about less then 1/2 too small so they didn't fit but they could if you were to machine them. So I'm just gonna sell them

Just to add but those tires ride so much smoother then the Nitto A/T I had
