I planning to order the following lug nuts to go along with the following rims. I'm not 100% sure they'll fit because my knowledge on this information is pretty minimal. All I know is that the size required for our civics is 12x1.5mm and that these rims require tuner style lug nuts, and these lugs are tuner style. Is there anything else I should know before ordering them?

It's hard to tell by the pics on the listing (of the wheels) but I think those lugs will work. To be sure, first buy the wheels you want then order the correct lugs. This way you know exactly what to order.... but I think they'll fit. You can also contact the seller of the lugs and ask them if those will fit on the wheels you're looking at.

Majority of aftermarket wheels have a tapered lug hole. Aftermarket lugnuts, also have a tapered angle, meaning they will work.

What you CANNOT do, is use OEM lugnuts on aftermarket wheels. Unless you have adapter washers. But all in all, yes, those lugnuts will work.
