Is the most common length for a wheel stud for fuchs rims 45mm? Are the rear lugs supposed to be longer at 52mm, or are they also 45mm?
Also, why are wheel studs 7 dollars a stud? Have to buy 20 studs, 140 for studs is a little crazy |

Longer studs don't work well with some spacers. If you have a thicker spacer 1" or more, the spacers come with studs pressed in for the wheel. The studs you purchase in this case should not stick out more than one inch past the rotor flange.
