Default Lug nut

I got Rpf1 17x9 +45 but i'm not sure stock lug nut can use with the new wheels, is that too short or that will be ok?

Stock lug nuts are "ball seats" and are not compatible with aftermarket wheels. You need aftermarket lug nuts with "tapered seats". Nearly all aftermarket lug nuts are the correct tapered kind, so they are easy to find anywhere.

The opposite is true, too. Aftermarket tapered lug nuts are not compatible with the stock wheels.

Don't use stock lugs, just pick up an aftermarket pair.

Not to take over this thread, but what's a good and reasonably priced aftermarket lug nuts that has a good locking mechanism?

I have rpf1's as well.

All right sweet thanks Manga_Spawn! I'll probably go with Gorilla; I've been looking into those for a bit now. Just wasn't sure if it was good

Yeah they a fine. Quite durable. I will caution against red of any brand since that color seems to fade and chip the easiest.

Go look in the gallery or google image muteki lugs. They are quite common. Yes you need aftermarket lugs with aftermarket wheels.

I was running Muteki SR48s on my last wheel set up and loved them. Extended and open ended. I don't really have any good pics of just the lug nuts, but here are some I found that show them on the car:
