Default Dumb lugnut question....Please advise

My son's tires on his aftermarket bullit wheels are pretty much shot. He has an '03 GT btw. We decided to put his practically brand new stock wheels/tires on for the upcoming winter and get some new meats next spring. His stock wheels are the slightly boring 5 star factory wheels. Anyway, I bought the open lug locking lugnuts from American Muscle at the same time I bought his deep dish bullits.

The big question is, will the locking lugnuts fit fine with the stock wheels????

I can't find the factory lugs that we took off a couple years ago, thus the question.

PS- I hope I'm not having a blonde moment here......Thanks for any quick help you guys can give me.

They should fit exactly the same....no worries. If they are a problem, you can always get replacements from any auto parts store for a few bucks.

UPDATE:
The Gorilla locking lugs fit.......BUT....too big for the center cap.

The shop ordered a new set of plain jane lugs (1/2"x20) from their supplier (Carquest) and those didn't thread right???......HUH? They ordered them based on the vin and they didnt thread right???.....Im confused.

So for now my son is driving it with the Gorilla lugs and no center cap till I can figure out what to use......

Ideas?

Help....
