Default Oz Superleggera...do i need new wheel nuts? Help!

Hi,

I have just bought some 17" oz Superleggera wheels, am i going to need some new wheel nuts?

I notice the hole in the wheel is about 1mm wider in diameter than my normal standard wheels.

Also the very botton of the hex on my wheel nut ever so slightly contacts the wheel and has shaved a tiny amount off. The wheel is on and feels firm....However im not sure.

Can someone advise? They are 17" going onto a classic STI.

YES !

I have a set and the nuts are a 45 degree face, unlike the std wheel nuts.
