Do stock 2008 5 star wheels fit over 1/2" wheel studs?

You also need to identify the wheels a little bit better. Simply 5 star is not quite enough.

See page 45 and 46.
The stud hole ID on a QX3 is a minimum of .590, but less than .660. I assume the others follow suit, but that's all I had loose to check.
These wheels are hub centric, so the hub ID is also important.

I am referring to the QX3. I planned on getting the wheels and my dial caliper out, but thought I would ask here first. Also wanted to hear first hand experience, if any.
Based on both of your info, .472 to the .590-.660 sound like they should fit fine.
