I was using stock wheels with a 15mm spacer that came with extended studs for a while, I finally got new aftermarket wheels that came in +12 offsets. I noticed that a couple of the extended studs in the front are really loose and wiggly, my mechanic suggested I get a new wheel bearing and replace all the studs too. I just picked up the new bearing(ouch...$200), but was wondering if the OEM studs will work just fine. Did you guys with the +12 or similar offset find that you needed extended studs with higher offset wheels?

 

no. oem is fine.

+12 is a lower offset than the oem fyi

 

I'm sorry, I meant if I needed extended studs, not lugs. Did you guys need extended studs?

 

Not needed, but they are nice. Extended studs with extended lugs, its a very strong setup.
