Default wheel bolts to run BBS e88 cups

just a quick one but i was wondering what wheel bolts those running BBS e88 on their GT3s used. ive got some cup spec wheels (center lock and 5 stud dual configuration) i am about to mount and was just wondering if i should be looking at longer bolts and if any are even available.
will i need to stud my hub?
the recess depth looks much longer than the current oem wheel.

You'll need longer studs for sure. Also, don't torque them to 150 lbs. as is stated some places on here.

you need 54mm bolts or 80mm studs. You can get the bolts from wheel enhancement or GMP performance.

thanks for the replies.
i figured i was going to be tight with the ones i had. ill get a set ordered up asap.
i am tempted to go the stud route....ive got the instructions for running them for daytona 24hr etc with the oem parts numbers.
this might be a winter project though, some long bolts will get me going right away


follow up......GMP lists 53 and 59mm options. is 53 enough? is 59 overkill?
