If you want to use lock-nuts on the OEM wheels, then you should be able to use these:

Locking Nuts & Bolts

and check out "Open-End Mag Star Wheel Lock Set"

Your issue may well be with the washer size, but your local engineering bolt and nut/fasterner supplier can provide washers of the correct size (you will require "hardened" washers)

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Have you ever tracked your car with your hacked open stock lug nuts? I wonder if this weakens anything. I'm thinking of buying 4 more OEM lug nut for track and use the open end mag star locking nut for DD.
