Lug nut question...

I just purchased some wheels and tires that were formally on an '07 STi. They gave me the lugs too. The lugs screwed on fine, but before I drove away and had all my wheels fall off, I wanted to make sure they wouldn't give me any issues.

Does anyone know if lugs for an '07 STi give me any issues?
Or will I end up like this guy?

Thanks in advance
