If the lug nuts that 4WP sent you were the same style and dimensions as the one below, I don't see how they could protrude past the back edge of the wheel. I dropped the "shanked" lug nut into the hole on the wheel, and the shank did not go deeper than the wheel was thick.
I originally rec'd the lug nuts in the top picture above, but the note included w/the wheels (from Weld) said not to use this type of lug nut on Toyota trucks w/the EVO's (in bold, capital letters)
It took me some wrangling to get the correct set of lug nuts, but I've had no problems. The Gorilla description and part number for these locks is "E-T/ULTRA STYLE (3/4)" - part number 68431N (this is for a set of four locks, whereas I got a full set of 24 locks, all keyed alike). See

I'm glad to have the style of lug nuts that I do, because there is not much stud (read as thread engagement) when the wheels are mounted over the studs (thick wheel/shorter studs).
