>Anyway - I've got new lugs to put in, and my question is this: in
addition to peening the lug on the back of the hub to prevent
loosening, would a small tack weld on each lug be a good idea?

Do not, under any circumstances, spotweld these studs. Doing so will cause
the studs to become brittle and may fail sometime down the line. This is
what happened to a friend of mine. Fortunately, he was traveling at only
30 MPH at the time and he spun about 90 degrees before coming to a stop.
(He never did find that wheel)
If you are concerned about the studs working loose assemble with locktite
(R).
