Yes looks like to me that these are the stock lug nuts and yes they are that bad

I have them on mine right now and one of them are starting to twist the crapy chrome cover off

Will be replacing them soon with new rims with the proper back spacing and loose the spydertrac spacers

Never had a problem with the spacers though

I picked up a new set of lugs all around and I am doing away with the stock CRAP! I ended up destroying 4 more getting them off to replace them ... Spidertrax will be in tomorrow. It hurts my feelings to see her in the driveway on jacks . Gonna double check these lugs tomorrow though, the seat on them looks smaller, but seems sufficient, gonna see if they have anything with a wider seat on the lug just to make me feel better ...
