yeah its uncommon but likely that the previous owner/s changed the stud pattern, my last car needed new a new stud pattern and hubs cos the originals were corroding pretty badly. i doubt that's why they changed your stud pattern but there's some reason.

does anyone know if they make short locking nuts? (dont quote me madfto :lol: )

My front ones fit under my centre caps but my rears are too long, funny as front and back nuts are the same size. They are about 3cm long.... Any shorter ones around?
