Not all lug nuts have the same taper and some times the shoulder just above the taper is larger and does not allow the taper to contact the wheel. Results are that lug nuts are not tightened properly and eventually cause the lugs to break.
Not sure of how to explain it but I have seen acorn nuts with a round shoulder between the taper and the hex. I have seen the round shoulder contact the taper of the wheel before the taper on the nut contacts its it.
