Well, there are two at the front of the front subframe, then either two
or four at the tops of the towers, then another four at the back of the
front subframe, there there are some more that hold the seats to the
body....

OK, assuming you mean the wheel studs, they're 4 studs on 4" pcd, which
is the same as Morris Minors, Majors (UK: Wolsely 1500/Riley 1.5) and
four cylinder Holden Toranas from HA through LC and LJ to TA (UK:
Vauxhall Viva).

If you're looking at wheels, the offset needs to be right too. Fit
wheels with the wrong offset, particularly to the front, and you'll get
all sorts of evil handling problems under power, under brakes and on
uneven roads.

The studs are 3/8 UNF and you need to use the correct nuts for the wheels.
The seat design is critical to them staying tight.

Ahh yes, I should have mentioned that. The cone angle of the wheel nuts
varies for different wheels. Minors and Vivas use a steeper cone angle
than Minis, so get Minor nuts for use with those wheels.
