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.

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
