    longer studs for aluminum wheels?

    Do I need longer wheel studs to mount my new wheels on my car? They're Summit Legend 5 wheels and mount the same way as OEM aluminum wheels. I don't need wheel spacers or anything like that, they're going right on the rotors/axles like the steel wheels. The reason I'm asking is the current...
