If you wanted to do it right you would have to find some longer studs to replace your oem studs... but that is a lot of work for OEM wheels.

The sunken in OEM wheels bothered me too when I lowered my car... which is why I knew I wanted new wheels when I needed to get new tires.

well said. thanks.
