Default Will I need longer wheel studs

Hi,
I've bought some Volks SE37K wheels which should be arriving soon. They are
7.5 x 17 and 8.5 x 17 et40 and was wondering if the stock wheel studs will be long enough as I'm altering the offsets by 21mm and 25mm and was wondering if I'll still be able to get enough turns on the wheel nuts.
Thanks

Wheel offset has no effect on stud length, you will have the same amount of thread engagement. Don't use the stock lug nuts though, you will need ones with the proper seat type.
