You can NOT use aftermarket lugs on stock wheels.

^ +1 Aftermarket arent designed for stock wheels and your stock wheels arent designed for aftermarket lugs. The stock lug nuts have a washer the help the lug nuts "seat"(may be wrong word) against the rim keeping them in place when torqued.

I think rays have a cone shape at the front which wont "seat" against the rim under torque.

but on a lighter note i'm sure if you search your area a bit you can find a machine shop that will machine the lil cone into lug well for you so those nuts dont do to waste. should only cost about 50 bucks or so. then take those wheels and get them powder coated gunmetal grey FTW
