Default stock studs/10.5" rims ???

i put on my friends 19X10.5" rear rims w/ 22 offset, i noticed the rear studs are shorter about 1/2" long or less, is it suppose to be like that when putting wide rims and low offset? We tried to use the stocks bolts it works but not sure if it is safe. Help, what do i need to do??

I don't think the rim width has anything to do with the studs being too short. I think its just the deisgn of the rim.

The low offset wheel just has a thicker "pad" which covers more of the stud. The correct way to measure if you have enough thread engagement is to count at least 7 full turns on the nut before it gets tight against the wheel. If you have less then 7 turns you should change to longer studs like the Nismo 50 or 60mm ones.

a lot of people here have 10.5" rear w/ 22 offset i wonder if they change their stock studs or still on stock. I just want to know if im safe.

You should be fine. Just count turns if you're worried. It's easy
