Hey guys, Does it make a difference what type of lug nuts we use on our cars?

I know they come with closed end lug nuts, but for aftermarket wheels, does it matter if we use open ended lug nuts?

These are the ones i am going to buy, http://www.amazon.com/x1-25-Black-Bu...0814071&sr=1-1

* Black Finish - Set of 20
* 12x1.25 Right Hand Thread Pitch
* 60° Conical Seat
* .83 in. total Length
* 17mm Acorn Head

would the fact that these are only .83 inches in length be a problem as well? this is about .25 inches of less threading than most lug nuts people are using on our cars.

please help, thanks.
