Just be CAREFUL!!!!! If using a wheel spacer...you better change out the wheel studs to the longer design...due to the wheel spacer will "possibly" cause the amount of thread to be decreased...thus not allowing your lug nuts to have enough threads to properly secure your wheel to the car.
IT'S YOUR LIFE.....and the woman with her kids in the oncoming lane.
If using an original lug nut with the threaded hole going through it....make sure that you have AT LEAST TWO threads EXPOSED past the nut when tightened. IF using a lug nut that does not have that ability to see the threads coming through it...you better make sure that you have the same amount of threads...if not more threads coming out of the wheel...after the spacer is installed as like it was before you installed the spacer with the factory set-up.

How long are the stock studs?
I checked Summit and they have 136 different sets of studs. Correct me if I am wrong: The stock studs are press-in and 7/16-20.
How long are the stock studs?
Summit has some with a .560 knurl or .480 knurl. Which size would I need?
Is there anything else to consider when choosing studs?
