The last set of rims I did were 24 bolt, I purchased a full set of new grade 8 flanged locking nuts and 24 grade 8 flanged non locking nuts, I was installing new tires and bead locks, no run flats, I would just run all the non locking nuts down a little at a time with a rotating cross pattern...
I have been using air impacts on lug nuts for over 50 years and have NEVER seen the nuts "distort" this includes a couple years at Goodyear and Firestone pulling and installing literally thousands of wheels
Those are 9/16-18 lug nuts, the VERY first thing I replace on my Humvees, just about every other vehicle in the world does not use locking lug nuts and wheels are not falling off all over the place.
