Make sure the lug nuts you are purchasing have the correct ball seat.

14x1.5, ball seat

These from a '89-92 VW transporter work fine

hmm.. so how do you read the size? when it says 12mm x 1.5 what does that mean? if our oem lug nut is 14mm x 1.5, will that fit?

You can read bolt sizes with a bolt gauge. First number is the diameter of the bolt (wheel stud), second number is the pitch, which is how many millimeters between the thread tips.
