Default Lug Nut Question

Yesterday I got a flat on the 2005 Montero Limited I purchased last month. Since the tire shop didn't have a replacement tire, they offered to put the spare on. The vehicle has 20" aftermarket wheels on it, but the spare is the original wheel/tire. When the tech tried to mount the spare, he realized that the lug nuts for the aftermarket wheels would not fit the original spare. I looked everywhere in the car for a set of the original lug nuts and found nothing. The tire shop didn't have any nuts that would fit the spare. All they had were tapered nuts.

Does anyone have any specifics on the original lug nuts (style, description, measurements, etc.)? I have to believe they'd sell the appropriate nuts at any auto parts store, but there's usually a ton of assorted nuts to chooose from with no cross reference to the make/model of vehicle they would replace. Anybody got a picture of the original lug nut I can use as a reference?

Any NAPA Autopartsstore should have the correct nutlisted.

Also, if you go through this link http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...?a=G-motormite, they have the Dorman part # listed for your make and model year.
