Why? Why does any of this/that matter? What are you trying to achieve? Lug nut length? I'm lost. Can you clarify any purpose?

he's converting his car from using wheel bolts to using studs... aka track studs aka race studs. This is not to be confused w traditional rear press-in lug nut studs (in traditional applications w American cars, etc). Instead these bolt into wheel hub from front side and then lug nuts are used to secure wheel to the stud. They facilitate easier / faster wheel swaps as well as provide better/quicker visual inspection to ensure wheels are firmly secured. And thus why they are typically known as track-studs, race-studs, competition studs, et al.

His question, to help familiarize others, is how far 90mm race studs would protrude... yes past the new lug nuts but also in relation to face of wheel. Is OP doing for aesthetics or tracking often - who knows but sounds like they have a plan and good for them.

Good luck!

I thought this post was dead. I used 45mmin the back and 60mm for the front were like spikes on a chariot. I returned the 60’s and
am waiting for 45’s to arrive.
I have a stock 02 S with Gen 1 18” Cayman wheels.
