ideally you need wheel nuts for steel wheels
bits4vits stock them

don't know about the offset difference- there should be size markings somewhere on the wheel that may tell you what the offset is

the ones on bits4vits look like tapered ones?

The SJ steels need standard Jimny steel wheel nuts. They are tapered. I can't get to the bottom of if the alloy wheel nuts on Jimnys are the same as the steel wheel nuts or not but if they differ It's the angle of the taper that differs.
