Default Longer Wheel Studs Question

So I got longer wheel studs for the back (forgot the size) so I could fit 15x10 Racestars but now I'm wondering what size wheel studs should I go with if I wanted to throw skinnies & 1/2" spacer on the front? Ill probably just go with open ended lug nuts for the front as well just because probably be easier that way.. Thanks!

Wheel + Spacer + Lug Nut= Correct stud length.

Remember there should be full thread contact of your lug nut with threads protruding beyond the lug nut itself.

So if I wanted to go with like a 15x3.75" or 15x5" skinny up front with our without a 1/2" spacer what wheel studs should I go with?

If you throw a half inch spacer on the front with the 3.75" racestars you'll need fender flares

Every wheel mounting surface has a different thickness. This is why you take that measurement of the wheel plus the spacer and the lug nut you want to use to figure out the stud length.
