I just received my pair of DMV motorsports 15F/17R and the studs appear to be long...

When I look at this picture further though it appears your studs were as long as mine are . Did you use stock lugs with this set up?

Not quite yet, the company 'DMV motorsports' on ebay was not helpful in an answer and said to just send them back so 'their team can look at them'...In the past when I have had similar issues with ebay dealers, they often just refund your money and you do not get any sort of real resolution.

They were however very responsive and even sent a prepaid return mail label. Kudos to them for that! I wont be returning them though, its not a huge issue and I will most likely cut the 1/4 inch off the studs and just install them that way.

They fit perfectly front and rear, and appear to be high quality. Just appear to need a slight trim of the pressed studs. Will keep you updated.

Would you be able to use open ended lug nuts with them, or do those not work with OEM wheels?

e: looks like a no, cutting the studs down it is

As long as they are ball seated open ended lugs, you absolutely can. I personally have not found to a good place to purchase them or I would go that route instead of trimming the studs.

Quick contribution to this thread.

Bought Ichiba V2 spacers (see part numbers below). Very nice spacers with integrated studs (10.9 grade), hubcentric rings fit perfectly. Only issue was OEM lug nuts are too short for the new studs which required a quick trip to Discount tire for some longer 12x1.5 nuts.

Looks fantastic! This is the look I'm going for. Any rubbing? What are your alignment specs?

zardilla

No rubbing yet around town or at highway speeds. The car is on Ohlin DFV dampers (approx 3/4 drop from stock) and i just had new Michelin PSS put on the car so it handles very nice.

Alignment still needs to be done, but will probably use a variant of the UK spec.
