If anything as long as its long enough and the washer wont fit get the washer machined down a little. The stock lugs are good because of the way they actually distribute some of the car's weight on the rim, not just the stud like tuner lugs do.
I'm going to have to disagree on this one. It is important to use the proper matching lug nut with the correct seat. Using a flat faced lug nut on a conical seat rim lug nut hole could lead to problems holding proper torque. Also, just knowing Work rims, I'm almost positive you wont be able to get those fat lug centric shafts of the OEM Lexus lugs to fit the Work rims.

PS to the OP. Nice rims. I'm debating on getting the Shallen AX as well since my friend is having a sale on them.

Nice rims...I'm waiting for my Shallen WX rims to come in and am getting more excited by the day (suppose to be lending in U.S. late October). Anyways, what's your offsets?

My offsets are +10 high disk front and +/- 0 super low disk rear.

high disks will be up for sale later as I have 2 more coming in that are low disk w/ same offset.

Perhaps you canl order then either way then, because the AME Shallen LX I had on my LS used conical lugs. I ended up using my McGard Splinedrive lugs on them. I could find out easy enough as my friend is an AME dealer.
