Yea it can happen if you are not real careful. Had a set of BMW wheels on my LT1. The BMW bolt circle is slightly different than the Chevy. It is so close that they will work but you have to watch the lug nuts, if they get slightly loose they put a tremendous strain on the studs because as they tighten up they bind up the studs slightly. Not a problem as long as the nuts are tight.
