You should have a tapered side wheel nut. I haven't seen these in SS and when I go to the page you reference and use the locater I could only bring up 1/4" size. Replacing a standard hex nut with another makes no sense to me. Use the right parts. Any tire store or auto parts should carry them so get their advice. I don't think the Budd style wheel use anything different.
