Locking Lug Nuts (? on part number)

I searched for this subject and found that they specify the part number as 82212564_FS for the Mopar locking lug nuts. My question is, does anyone know if that is a different part all together from the 82212564? I ordered what I thought were the right ones but they seem to be about 1/4" too long and poke out. If I get the "FS" ones, will they be shorter and the same length as the lug nuts I take off? My '10 had the same too long locking lugs and they were from the factory.

Same for me. “Courtesy” install by dealer at delivery.

I was really hoping they had found a closer match, but it appears they sell this same set for most all of their vehicles using the M14x1.5 threads. My wife's Durango has the exact same lugs as my new truck and the locking lug is too long on it as well. I wonder if I can find something closer to the correct length directly from McGard? Has anyone tried to spec one out from them?

I suppose you could just file down the female end of the lug to the same length.
To be honest, I find the security nut a gimmick. I don’t live in the hood nor do I frequent low income areas. Seriously, how many cars/trucks have you seen on cinder blocks?
These lug nuts are a false sense of security on par with those Tile trackers for keys, etc. Never used it.
Fun fact: I had them on my Toyota. Every 6 months, I would have my tires rotated. One day I had a flat and could not locate the lug key. Grease monkey, apparently forgot to put lug key back in my car and I had to pay for tow and new key. Lesson learned.
