Default Extended Wheel Studs

I just bought a new set of wheels and realized I need 15mm spacers for the front and rear. Front having a 70mm bore and rear 64mm bore.
What is the best length to get for wheel studs? 2.85inch seems to be popular? I don't really want to run open lugs and would prefer my OEM lugs but I don't know if that's possible?

Looking for some suggestions. Thanks guys

if you got aftermarket wheels, your OEM lugs probably wont seat right anyway

yup, aftermarket wheels should have aftermarket lugs, the conical heads seat MUCH better than the OEM rounded headed lugs

Thanks, I'll make sure the wheels having the lugs with them. As for stud length, any suggestions? I know the new wheels with 10mm spacers isn't going to be enough length.

Bolt on spacers would be a much easier solution if your wheels have the space for the stock studs that will stick through. It recommended to change the hub as well if you are going to replace the studs as you can't simply pound them out and replace with longer ones.

if u just need to clear the lip on the hub, 5mm spacers suffice

The OEM studs have space for the spacers and the new wheels. Just not enough to be comfortable. As for bolt on spacers, you're referring to the spacers that have the studs built into them?
