Which lug nuts for Datsun wheels?

I have purchased a set of Datsun ZX wheels for my 79 MGB. I have yet to receive them but am trying to figure out which lug nuts I need for them to work. The guy I purchased them from said that the OEM Rostyle wheel lug nuts will not work but wasn't sure which lug nut to buy.

Does anyone have experience with these ZX wheels and know which lug nuts I heed to buy?

Thanks

There are several styles of Datsun wheels...they may use different styles of lug nuts.

I picked up a set of "Snowflake" Datsun 280ZX wheels yesterday. The lugs had a large shoulder on them.

Those are the same as I purchased. He said the problem is the Rostyle lugs are too long? Not having them in hand yet certainly puts me at a disadvantage to really test them

Rick, can you measure from shoulder to the end?

14mm, including the thickness of a 3mm washer.

This measurement is to the bevel, not to the end of the lug.
