It appears that the wheel in the photo is a lug centric wheel. As MelWff stated, tapered seat nut should work. You'll need to jiggle the wheel around in order to center the wheel on the lugs, then tighten the nuts.
Not sure if you are aware or not of how important it is that you cross tighten these lug nuts. Get the wheel up in place and lightly tighten each nut, in a cross pattern. Then go around again, doing the same cross pattern. That is the only way to make sure it is centered. And as suggested, go over them again in a few days.
