Default Wheel Stud Replacement
How big of a pain in the *** is it to replace the wheel studs? Both front and rear?

Its pretty damn easy. Not sure if this is the 'best way', but I used to just hammer them out. And then draw the replacement wheel stud with an open end lug nut.

Pretty sure you have remove the rear axles to swap them. Someone chime in if I'm wrong.

Not if you're putting stock length studs back in. I never had any issues with my method.

Well, I know I'll be running longer ones up front... Do you need to run longer studs in the rear w/ 15x10's
