Default Wheel stud length

Anyone knows what"s the standard length of the GS wheel studs? I have 10mm spacers on the fronts right now with extended studs. I tried on my 15mm spacer and the studs are too short. Anyone know if a 45mm long extended stud would be sufficient for a 15mm spacer?

Isn't the standard length 12mm?

45mm stud will be fine for a 15mm spacer. I believe the OEM stud sticks out 26mm

Okay thanks. I just wanted a little reassurance before I ordered them.

How will the strength of the longer stud hold up? you have to figure the longer it is, the weaker it will become since it is more liable to bending.

Majority of longer bolts are strengthened more than OEM. Also if the wheels and spacers are hub-centered then there would be no lateral force or stress on the studs at all
