Lug Nut Size? Nubee Question

Hello there everyone,
Looking at some aftermarket steel wheels (rims)
15x7, 6x5.5 , 3.75
I know all the specs for the actual wheel itself in order to get a proper fit but can not find any information on the proper lug size anywhere.
Used the Search Feature with little help.
Being fairly new to the game I thought a lug was a lug...I now see there are so many sizes..
These are the sizes I have come across:
1) 12X1.25
2) 9/16
3) 14X1.5
4) 1/2
5) 14X2.0
Can anyone help to steer me in the right direction?

Drive to Canadian Tire, take one off, walk in and hand it to the pimply faced kid behind the auto parts counter. Tell him you need at least 24.

Not an option since I don't have the vehicle.
After hours of research still no definite answer.
Looks like (12x1.25) seems to be the most likely candidate. re:Other mitsubishi Jdms of same year.
Still searching if anyone knows. 95' L400

Fixed this for you:
1. Drive to Canadian Tire, take one off, walk in and hand it to the pimply faced kid behind the auto parts counter. Tell him you need at least 24.
2. Drive home try to install one, find out that they do not fit slightly damage the threads on the stud trying to get it on.
3. drive back to Canadian Tire wait in line with 30 people all returning poor quality 3rd world crap. as you wait people working behind the counter go on break with increasing numbers relative to your proximity to the counter.
4. Get to the counter they tell you you need to go to the parts counter.
5. Go to the parts counter get in line with 30 people half getting parts half returning parts and no one is around. But there is a button to push that announces "sales associate to the parts counter". Unfortunately no staff have that name....
6. Leave the store with 24 lug nuts that fit nothing and wait until after hours to throw them threw the window.

The sad thing is that isn't even much of an exaggeration...

It is like trying to catch a phantom. Everytime you get close to catching one they turn a corner and vanish. Thye should film an episode of Ghost Hunters at CT. I could stand there with a gaping chest wound from being impaled from a "Garden Weasel" and the sales associates would still look at you and then use their Ninja smoke cloak and vanish. Wish they hired people who actually liked their job.
