As long as you can get at least 3 full turns in, you should be fine.

The lug nuts don't even fit in my Infiniti wheels, but they hold up just fine.

Your either a dumbass or you got smart and didn't do that, which I'm hoping.

Have fun when your wheel snap off. :)

I have 3mm spacers in the rear and would not go over that without getting longer studs.

I did not get the extended studs and i did get smart and not take off the washers there was no need it seems to me that the stock alloys on the gen 1s are hub centric and lug centric is that possable?
