You can use a regular nut in place of a lug nut in an emergency situation and only for a short period of time. Lug nuts are shaped to "seat" into the hole on the wheel and ensure that the wheel is tight to the hub. A regular nut does not seat, or bottom out, and will allow the wheel to move and cause wear on the stud and the wheel itself.
