I got the 68mm black bullet nose studs from Motorsport hardware. Running these with a 10mm spacer in the rear.
I think you could go with the 68mm mentioned above, but they'd stick out a bit far past the end of your wheel nuts. After 3 years, I finally did studs and spacers (12mm front, 10mm rear) on my 507 coupe. Stock height and stock 507 wheels, I think it looks considerably better, but not completely "flush". If I didn't know any better, I'd think it was still stock. No issues with rubbing and no difference in driving, but I don't track the car.
Would anyone happen to know which kit I'd need on stock wheels with no spacers?
Also, whats the opinion on spacers? Yay or nay with stock wheels and suspension? I wouldn't mind a bit more of an aggressive look, but not at the expense of rubbing/crap driving dynamics or looking aids

In case anyone is curious, the Motorsports Hardware studs worked perfectly in the rear. I measured them compared to the Otis Inc LA studs and they're about 2mm shorter on the hub side. MSH also includes printed instructions with their studs. For the black "race" studs, they recommend blue threadlocker and 25 lb/ft. Nuts torqued to factory spec (96 lb/ft).
can I ask how far out of the lug hole in the wheel the studs stick out with 10mm spacers? I don't run spacers and don't want the studs poking out but 68mm seems shortest stud available in black
Thanks
