Yes best solution is that those lug nuts are with correct length, but for commercial use that length varies a lot with different rims... For one off solution there is no problems and that is one of the best way to secure hubcap if rim are under 16". Those fatigue problems start to occur on the bigger rims which are over 17". Only estimations on the size but problem chances get bigger when rims are bigger.
