Might be a bit late&/or you might not be as dumb as me so you may have already noticed but those dimensions are for the thread only.
Not all wheels have the same size mounting holes in either depth or width& can vary even on the same set.
Eg: I just bought a set of Sparco wheels and not only are the mounting holes too narrow for standard tapered nuts,[they require slim tuner nuts]
the depth of the holes is different between the fronts
& rears so the nuts I bought having only measured
& test fitted the fronts,
[duh]
are too tall for the rears
& foul the blanking plate.

I've ended up with 37mm depth x 20mm width on the fronts& 24mm depth x 19mm width for the rears.
The 24mm only arrived today& I may yet find the rears will also need a spacer to shorten the thread when I check them later as they are internally driven due to the holes being too narrow to get a socket in.

They are similar to the Advan wheel nuts but a whole lot cheaper.
