You will be able to use them still. You will just need to order acorn style lug nuts for 12mm studs and make sure there the open ended kind. Those are the ones I used before chris. U remember them??? There. About $8 a set and you will need 5 sets. They come 4 to package we had to open the holes up a lil because the style of the rim crushes a lil after many tightening sessions. They should be just fine. I would listen to Sean and not drive the car until new tires are on there.

No, from my understanding, which may be wrong, you still need the 5/8 studs in order to run the pro stars. The wheels are hollowed out to be alil bigger then 5/8, so it would be too big for the 12mm stud.... Even with the acorn style lug nuts.

I thought you didnt want the gauge cluster???
