you'll definitely need to buy different nuts/bolts buddy, I had to do the same with my Orion as I've go the Mondy rims on.

They have bigger shuolders on them so the sit perfectly into the hole's in the wheels

Before that, my original bolts were cutting away the wheels which is pretty feckin dangerous
