Can I use aluminum lug nuts on steel wheels?

Can you use OEM lug nuts on aftermarket wheels?
Aftermarket wheels, not the original equipment (OE) factory wheels, are designed to upgrade the appearance and even performance of your vehicle. Most OE lug nuts are not designed to fit aftermarket wheels. That’s why we recommend purchasing a wheel installation kit to ensure the lug nuts match your wheels.
What kind of lug nuts do I need for fuel rims?
Fuel Wheels just like the majority of aftermarket wheels require the use of conical seat lug nuts. If you’re looking to use your factory lugs they most likely won’t work as most vehicles from factory come with shank or flange style lug nuts.
Do new wheels require new lug nuts?
While some are designed to reuse your current wheel’s stock lug nuts or bolts, other options will require something different if the new wheel’s lug seat type is different. Also, you’ll need new lug nuts or bolts if the hole in the face of the wheel needs tuner style lugs or if the center cap requires a shorter lug.
Do I need a wheel installation kit?
It is recommended to buy a wheel installation kit when purchasing aftermarket wheels. The original equipment (OE) lug nuts/bolts will not work on the aftermarket wheels.
