Default Lug nuts on Moabs?

Question,

I just changed my 99 Cherokee over from stock steelies to 16" Rubicon Moabs. Do I need to get different lug nuts or will the original lug nut design work with the aluminum wheels?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ben

If there is a taper where the lug nut seats in the wheel then acorn lug nuts will work. If it's flat where the lug nut seats then they wheels are hub centric and use flat lug nuts.
