Eagle Alloy wheels??? Help?

Ok guys these wheels are out there a dime a dozen on 4wds. I bought a set of eagle alloy 589's from a guy to go on my truck. Well the prob is i can't seem to find the right lug nut for these wheels. It as to be a flange style lug nut that goes in the hole. The ones on my truck the OD is to big to go in the hole so i ordered ones that would fit that are flanged with a 60 degree taper as well. Better design in my opinion. Ultra mag lug nuts mad by gorilla. Well they just don't look right they go all the way the the head of the lug nut touching the face with no seating on the taper. I am thinking I may just need the same style I have but smaller but I can not find anything that small. Any help or pics on what you guys are running. Thanks

They should take a standard 3/4" bulge end acorn lug...7/16" on 4x4 and 1/2" on 2wd. (half tons).

The studs don't stick out from the wheels far enough to use a standard bulge seat lug nut. Even the current wheels on my truck have flanged lug nuts but the holes in the new wheels are too small for the lug nuts on my truck. I think i may try a tapered flat washer for the new lug nuts i ordered.
