   As long as they are torqued up to the correct setting they will be fine mate.
   The correct setting is 250nm - 184lb ft

   no the torque setting will be different. those in the picture are nyloc nuts the the standard ones are castle nuts. Personly i would use the standard types are they will lock in better.
