you can't add more than 5mm spacers on the stock wheel studs. if you do any more, then your lugs won't be able to complete enough rotations to be safe. you can get apr extended lugs though.

How big of a PITA are the extended lugs?

it's not a big deal at all. just have to pound the old studs out of the hub and then pull the new ones through and torque them.

Drives:: slow
I had a broken wheel stud replaced by a tire shop that snapped on my old honda. It was difficult to watch as he pounded away at my car.

All of the cost in those studs are in the material... Very, VERY stong stuff. Probably would be a bad idea to cheap on wheels studs of all things, imo.

right, but i don't need that strong of stuff, from what i read, those are like 3 times the stock strength. i don't plan on dragging or racing anytime soon. if i do in the future, i guess i'll get those good ones. what are stock studs made out of?

it's freaking easy to change studs. Remove caliper. remove rotor. whack studs out. pull new studs in. replace rotor. replace caliper. give someone a high five
