    Or extended lug nuts? More info would help

    I thought wheel studs were universal?

    I have had cars in the past that I needed extended wheel studs my 94 had to have then to run different wheels they would only grab about 4 rounds

    You need ET Lugs. Had the same issue with the wheels on my 2nd gen. The lugs were only grabbing like 5 threads with acorn style lugs. Swapped them out with extended thread and worked like a charm. The acorn style lugs were also the cause of my wheel vibrations at speed. Very dangerous.
