Thanks so much for the reply edconline,

I am looking for a stud that I can use for running aftermarket wheels (forgeline in my case) and be able to still run OEM wheels and OEM lug nuts without using a spacer anywhere.

This morning I installed 50mm studs on the rear and *thought* I would have clearance issues with the cap of the OEM lug nuts (I was seeing a slight protrusion of the 50mm Z1 stud from my custom-open ended oem lugnuts). After that, I posted this thread. I just went back though and marked the 50mm studs with a little grease on the end, and installed the OEM wheel and lugnuts - and no grease was transferred over to the inside surface lug nut cap. So it looks as though I can run 50mm studs F+R and retain otherwise all OEM parts. The reason I was looking for such a specific length was that I thought the 50mm studs would have clearance issues in the back. But I think we're good!

And yes, I guess I did get the studs mixed up in the picture haha. The shiny one is Z1
