Are these the right lugs or are my wheels worn? They seem too small for the holes. I still have the left hand threads on the drivers side.

 A 3/4-inch lug wrench should fit them and the thread size is 1/2-inch by 20.  without seeing them actually on the lugs, they do kinda look undersized.  But if a 3/4 inch wrench fits them they are correct.  Joe

Agreed, I found some larger lug nuts and put them on. I know it would be impossible to find a good set of original wheels
