1/2" lugs transplant into a 9/16" HD hub/rotor assembly??

Good evening Bullnosers,
Got a quick question for all you good folk.. - You may have already guessed it from the title!! Does anybody know whether 1/2" lug nuts will sit safely in a HD hub/rotor assembly? (in place of the 9/16th lugs that came with it). Muggins here has just had a couple of HD 9/16th units flown over the atlantic at vast expense...  only realised my mistake once I'd installed them and went to put the lug nuts on  Thank you!!!

I don't think that is going to work. Looking at the chart below the non-HD F250's, meaning under 8500 GVW, have 1/2" and the HD F250's have 9/16"
Looking at the parts lists, the non-HD F250 2wd's take list #3 and the 2wd HD F250's take #14. And in those parts lists they take different hubs/rotors. So I'm betting that the HD hubs won't take 1/2" lugs. And I don't think it would be safe if they did. Sorry!
