Lug bolts to rim match...

I've been offered a good deal on some 19" rims/tires from a Range Rover Sport and wanted to see if the X5's lug bolts could be used to mount them. Unfortunately I have some aftermarket "tuner" style lug bolts on my truck so when I checked the fit they were too small at the cone to fit the Rover's rims. I plan to order some true X5 lug bolts.

I've checked the offset and centerbore and all is good to go there, but the actual BMW lugbolts to mate the wheel to the hub is my main concern.

Thanks to anyone that may have insight on this.

here are pics of the NUTS used on Land Rover 3 / Range Rover 3 wheels .
only wheels from these models have the 72.5 mm hub bore .
the post 2006 nuts have a taper but the flat washer may be what secures the wheel .
pre 2006 lugs have less taper but still have the flat area .
contact the company in the link for a better answer .

Thanks for this...The lug nuts this Range Rover has are the ones in the second picture. I'm feeling pretty certain that the OEM X5 bolts are not going to mate up to these RR rims. I've been looking at the taper and shape of the two in pictures on the web and just don't see where the top diameter/shape of the OEM X5 bolts will fit these rims.

Thanks for the help!
