Ireland they have good prices on studs and nuts, you may need a different nut, but at least the studs are there.



That sounds close, but the wheels will never get any closer, because the strut always moves with the wheel. As long as they don't touch now, they never will. Now, if you get the tires on there and they rub, then you'll have to get some spacers, but as long as you're not going for super-wide tires, you should be okay. As far as the longer lug bolts, I think bmpd.com sells them, but you better check with them to see if the head size will work with your wheels. If not, you might have to install lug studs and use nuts. Just make sure they're STRONG. HTH!
