All lug nuts are not the same. The radii are different. You really need to check those very closely, if they are not correct you have a potentially dangerous situation. The wheel can loosen up enough to possibly allow enough movement of the wheel that it could shear off a lug stud or two, or worst case scenario, all of them.
The problem may develop that if you've been using the incorrect lug nuts, now the wheel could be deformed where the lug nut contact, and the correct lug nuts may not fit properly. IMO you have a pretty dangerous situation on your hands, and should be addressed at the earliest opportunity. Good luck.
