OEM lugs vs after market replacements.
 

So long story short I bent a wheel and had to put my stocks back on.

it was then that I realized that the lugs I had on my wheels(57xtreme) were different from the OEM ones(now missing) that came with the car.

so I went to Advance auto to get some stocks. well these are just like the new ones I had just shorter.

the difference between the ones I just bought and the OEM I lost are a washer of sorts that seemed to fill in the space and press the wheel onto the hub with the threading going into the wheel to make contact.

do I need the original OEM ones? the current set just feels like it might not center up and could cause a problem down the road.

hopefully I described this enough/properly.

ones I bought and same as what I currently have just shorter:
