you will only need differnet lugs if you are changing the offset. if the rims have a nice lip on them than most likely you will need new lugs. if you have a good shop they can cut your lugs to size. if you do this make sure you still have three (3) complete turns on the lug.

Get a LUG STUD conversion...ask your tire shop, they can get it, the kit is only like 50bucks...

the stud forces you to use 19mm lug nuts, and will guarantee you do not damage the rear parking brake hardware..

when i bought my 19" OZ wheels, the stock hardware was too long...

I would NOT cut a lugbolt....

It depends on the shop you use. My guys do high-end high performance cars. I would not let some mindless retard (not meant to insult anyone) with a hacksaw do this.
