Do the XE and the X-type have the same lug nuts?
I was taking off the lug nuts on my recent XE addition, and noticed that it had the same 19mm lug nut shell that x-types come with. I took a spare x-type lug nut and hand threaded it on an XE stud part way. They seem to be the same, but the x-type lug nut seems ever so slightly looser around the stud threads (possibly from wear, this is an old nut that I don't use), so I want to ensure they are the same. The reason I ask is that I have a whole box of extra fully chromed lug nuts for my x-type at another location, and will replace the standard cheap XE nuts with them. After all that I guess I just need to know the stud specs. The x-type has 12mm x 1.5 studs, is that what the XE has?
Thanks.
Thanks.

For the (possible) benefit of UK based readers, lug nuts (US) are wheel nuts (UK). Don't know the derivation of lug nuts - it seems an odd term but then there are a surprisingly large number of different names for car parts between the US and the UK.
One that sticks in my mind from the period I lived in the US was the US "rocker panels" which means the UK "sills".
