Im after some tapered wheel nuts - standard size. The standard wheels take a flat face nut, which I already have but Im fitting some after market alloys which require a tapered nut.
Sorry for any confusion.
Update - found this supplier - JJT Wheels in Kilmarnock. 20 black 60 degree
tapered nuts and 4 locking nuts - £39.99 delivered.
I dont think it would be possible to use the original flat washers at all on tapered
fittings as the original nuts are sleeved and wont actually fit through the stud holes on the wheels.

I think you may have miss understood me...I wasn't suggesting using any old flat washer...I was referring to a part for the purpose which is tapered one side and flat the other and looks like a chuncky washer.
I think I understand the principle of using shaped washers but unfortunately in this case the wheel stud hole sizes on the after market wheels are a smaller diameter than the standard wheels stud hole and the wheel nuts with flat washers have
a sleeve which means they are too wide fit through the smaller diameter stud holes in the aftermarket wheels and so cannot mate up to the wheel stud and be tightened. I hope this makes sense!
What he is saying is, the originals are too wide for the stud hole on the new rims
and won't reach the stud, let alone the taper at the bottom of the hole
