question about wheel nuts (ford)?

Question

so basically i have just fitted some new alloys (using alloy wheel nuts) but previously had steel wheel nuts on.. my question is.. is the "head" or "tip" (im not sure of the name) of the wheel nut the same?? aka.. will my wrench in the boot fit my new nuts.. say if i was to get a puncture i would be stuck otherwise

Update:

well yeah my cars not with me atm. it was just a passing thought i was wondering. i could always check in a day or two

the nuts should be the same size and unless you have some special rims that require a special slim socket you should be fine take out your lug wrench and make sure it fits how easy is that? do it in the driveway before you have a flat and make sure.

these  are correctly called wheel locking nuts unless  in america  where they refer to them as 'lug nuts'.
  unless they have a  sliding chrome   cover  over them ? they ought to be a standard size  eg same as before.  easy enough to check though with your  wheel nut  tool in boot. a multi size spanner   ( 4 way) can be  bought at most motor factors  fairly cheaply and ought to   fit any nits  commonly used  on current and older vehicles.

No way we can tell over the internet, other than to say that they SHOULD be the same size head on the new wheel bolts as the old ones.

What you call wheel nuts are called Lug nuts.

You have a lug wrench in your boot?  Isn't that hard to walk that way?
