I didn't have any problems...I ordered new lug nuts when I ordered the wheels.
They fit quite nicely. It's also nice to have the little MG octagon on the end
of each nut. :-) My car's a '75 by the way. Buying new lug nuts seems much
easier than buying new studs. I think my lug nuts are tapered and kind of go
down into the holes in the wheels.
