I will start looking for some new ones, now I know what to look for!

maybe you could find some of those special offset lug nuts?

1.5mm seems to be the largest, i think you would need 2.5?

Nice idea, but there's 10 mm of difference in the diagonal, so I don't think it'd work for me.

Besides, I'm about to go pick up another set of wheels I won on eBay last night

These ones are gonna need some TLC and a new set of tyres, but at this stage I just want something I can roll the chassis out of/into the garage on. Besides I'm bound to scratch the wheels with something during the build before it's finished..

Think i would relist them and buy the correct wheels - you also need to make sure they are the correct offset to, 38mm.

When I suggested offset lug nuts, I was trying to be funny. I didn't know these actually existed.
