I used screw in studs for the front whith stock lugs.. and longer bolts for the rear.. make sure you use that little spacer that comes on the stock lugs.

Are they screw in studs?

Those are different than the studs I used... my studs are screwed in from the outside...as you would your wheel bolts...they do no have a head on them... they have a small threaded area which screws into the hub.. after that they are the same as yours above.

To install those in the picture you will have to do some work.. the screw in studs that i have used are easy to install... just screw them in with a allen type head bolt.

I needed the wheels studs to fit the larger BBS Motorsports wheels with a spacer..
why do you need them?

You do not need them.. some use them to ease wheel changes.. I believe there is a bit of work to install them....pressed in wheel studs.

My BBS wheels need a longer bolt. they are thicker threw the body... no choice but wheel studs for me.
