It is a little easier with the studs, maybe saves 2 minutes per wheel of screwing in the wheel guides in and out. If you have multiple sets of wheels, and some need spacers and some don't, or you want to experiment with some spacers, then you can save the cost of extended length bolts and put that toward the studs. I was going to run some cayman wheels with spacers and so i did studs instead of a 2nd set of lug bolts. Then ended up not running the cayman wheels,after all because the tires that came with them were too big
