Trying to make sense of your post (it was not written clearly).

First, I personally would not alter the holes for the lug nuts in the wheel. I am no expert on this, but it would seem to me this would not be safe just to begin with. If the wheels didn't fit, then they did not belong on there in the first place. I would find wheels appropriate for the studs (not modified) so you know you have good safe securement of the wheels on your car.

What wheels are they? Were they manufactured for larger studs or did he drill them out?

I'd be concerned with the structural integrity of the wheel now.

So you are saying the studs that the lugs go on are larger.. I can see that. But to do that he drilled out the holes on the rim. Agreed with above get one of the rims checked out but a wheel/tire shop?

You may want to contact a sponsor that builds rear ends. They always have a stud upgrade and I'm sure they would be able to tell you if running a drilled rim on a standard stud will create a problem.
