Yes, but they would need a longer shank on them to go inside the lug holes in the wheels.

Dr,

When you stated you used these these for your Calais wheels, do you mean the cast aluminum ones, the same as were put on '79 - '80 W-30 cars? Reason I ask is I have a set of these (gray just like the ones I had on the '81) and am in need of a full set of lug nuts. If so, I can just look for an Ecklers or Doorman catalog at NAPA?

Factory Cutlass Alloys N78 I think was the RPO they ran from 79-82 I believe in gold (for the H/O) and argent
these:

Eckler Chevrolet is a dealership that does a lot of Corvette mail-order parts, but yes NAPA should have a catalog you can look at the various lug nuts availible ...I am not 100% but I think it's Doorman hardware.

They are not a "mag" lug ... the shanks on my O.E.M. and their replacement lugs were not any longer than these. Notice that these do taper like an acorn nut

So they can be used on the steel spare

Thanks, yes the N78s are them. As stated I had a set of these (argent) on my '81 Calais & found another set minus lugs. I need to clean up this new set (any suggestions?) and figured might as well start looking for the lugs. Also, thanks for the picture of the Olds, gives me an idea of what they'll look like on a black car (my '81 was faded / oxidized light blue).

that's what I kinda figured ... since there is no taper on the wheel
 
Summit also appears to have Dorman
