Lug bolts and aftermarket wheels
Are most of you with aftermarket wheels using the stock lug bolts, or something else (and if so what)?
A guy at Iforged told me my stock lug bolts were too long and I needed some new ones, so I got a wheel installation kit from a local tire store (new studs that screw into the hub that are threaded on both ends, and spline-drive lug nuts that screw onto them). But the studs were too short and barely made it through the wheels, so I had to take them back. Then I started looking at the stockers and both sets of wheels, and they appeared to stick out of the back of the hub of the new wheels a little less than the stock wheels, which made me think he was wrong about them being too long. So I mounted the wheels using the stock lug bolts, and so far they seem to be doing fine.
