I have seen some pictures of people using small diameter spline drive lug nuts on OEM GM wheels on pickups,but the lug nut seems like it is just barely bigger than the hole in the OEM wheel.Could the wheel actually pull over the lug possibly since it is barely bigger than the wheel hole?I see most sites that sell lug nuts say not to use small diameter aftermarket lugs on OEM wheels.
Stainless Steel would most certainly be more prone to scratches. Titanium is harder than SS. The ABSOLUTE BEST way to avoid scratching your lug nuts and wheels though is to use vinyl-sleeved sockets. Not expensive, a must to have in your kit.
Yes, when installing aftermarket wheels, you can't use your OEM lug nuts. You'll need to get some conical-seat lug nuts. If you need a walkthrough on that, search lug nuts on our channel.
Most aftermarket wheels will feature conical-seat (cone-shaped) lug holes. If you want to be certain, it would be a good idea to contact the wheel manufacturer directly and ask them what seat-type they use.

You never explained anything on the SHANK LUG NUTS. What will happen if the shank is shorter than the oem. Is there a safety issue with that? Does anyone knows?
A Shank Lug nut is simply a type of lug nut. As long as you have sufficient THREAD ENGAGEMENT, then you won't have any issues. To measure your thread engagement, we've done a few videos on this, pretty simple to do.
Recommendation in terms of lug nuts? You don't need to get too far into the weeds when picking out a set of lug nuts. Just make sure the material quality is good and that they are conical-seat lug nuts.
