you need a different set of lug nuts you need the "tuner" style ones uses a special key for the lugs.

there are several differnt hub sizes that wheels can come in. while most SHOULD be interchangeable, some are not. I'd advise against running them if they're not correctly set on the hub. if you tighten the wheels down, the lugs may be holding, but then wheel is not against the hub. you'll notice wheel vibes at speed...the same thing can be felt on a set of wheel spacers that aren't hub-centric.

the lug nuts will hold it just fine...go to pepboys and get some tuner lugs and put them on and ride
