Correct lug nuts?

I bought some Pro Comp 1069 16x8" wheels for my 4Runner and did not order any lugs as the sales guy was not 100% sure what kind I would need.

I thought I would deal with it if it came up.

Forgot how weird the factory lugs look in profile. The new wheels seem to have a double seat with a beveled "acorn" style seat in the very center of the hole and a rounded seat outside of that. I think the beveled part is what is supposed to seat.

I did some eBay searching and it appears the stock lugs are for stock wheels. For aftermarket, I got hits on 12x1.5mm "acorn" lug nuts which have beveled seat to them.

Can anyone confirm this is what I need?

What are the chances that my local tire shop would have these kicking around?

I made a hasty appointment today to get the wheels mounted tomorrow (they had an opening the next day) but had not done my homework on the lug nut issue.

Kinda hoping I don't have to leave the vehicle with them overnight or bring it back a few days later just because I have to wait for lugs. I realize that may be the case (my own fault.)

Can anyone tell me what kind of lugs I need?

(These are going on a '96 4Runner Limited.)

Thanks in advance.

Local auto parts place or tire store will have acorn style lug nuts.

12x1.5mm is correct.
