(Assuming you have the OEM BBS Wheels)

OEM Wheels require OEM or OEM style lug nuts, which have flat washers built into them...

Typical Tuner lugs have an Acorn or Bowl End on the lug nut design, which will mate perfectly with just about all aftermarket wheels...
These acorn shape lugs are not really safe for an Oem Lexus wheel.

Please excuse the rusty nut..

^ YES! If you plan to keep your OEM BBS wheels, then you can ONLY use OEM lug nuts on them!
