I believe it's true since they are designed for aftermarket wheels. If you have a set laying around and end up not using it, sell them to me..

Definitely wont work.

I have the Spline McGuards for my aftermarket wheels.

I also have a set of lugs I need cary and use for the spare OEM tire.

The OEM lugs have FLAT washer vs Spline are Tapered w/ no washer
