    1/2" x 20 TPI will do it. Doesn't hurt to run a die down the length of each stud before you put new lug nuts on. The die will clean up the threads a bit so you don't strip one accidentally.

    Don't ask me how I learned this little trick, K?

    No problem with keeping them that way. Just be sure to tell the guys at the tire store that the drivers side are counter clockwise (turn left) to tighten.
