One thing to keep in mind though. I had to replace a lugnut on my dakota. I bought a pack of them at walmart, and the damn things were literally like a pound each, they were huge, machined from a solid long piece of steel. It was so heavy that I replaced two of them opposite each other to balance it out. If I hadn't, I know it would have caused imbalance vibration. So make sure that lugnut isn't heavier than the rest of them.

Oh looks like you have a bag of them there so replacing them all so forget what I said above. Anyway, take one of your stock lugnuts off and compare the angle. If that's tough to tell, you could make a simple angle gage for comparison. Maybe two business cards next to each other with a corner overlapping, and put one half of a staple through the two corners to join them. Now they are hinged and you can measre/record the angle from the stock nut and compare it to the aftermarket one.
