Hiya Steve,
this has been discussed a couple of times on the forum. Yes, obviously, ideally you should be using Imperial sized wheels with Imperial studs, but as you say, the difference is 1.6mm. Less than 3/4 of a millimetre per stud. A couple of fag papers worth. Bolt the wheels on & take 'em off again a couple of dozen times & the studs & wheel holes will wear more than that. If you're not happy then please don't use them, but all I can say is we've been mixing Metric & Imperial for years with no problems at all.
