So is this technically considered an extended wheel stud? Or are they two completely separate things. I apologize if its a dumb question as this is going to be the first modification so I just want to be clear before I start anything.

 

It’s not a stud, it’s a bolt.. Lexus doesn’t use lug nuts on the wheels for the new IS, they’re bolts now like European cars which makes things way easier. And no worries, no such thing as a dumb question.

 

Alright, so the bolt is what is used to bolt the wheel on, and due to the spacers, we would need longer ones to compensate for the extra space?
And the stud is completely different. Would we need extended studs though? Or is this just as simple as removing the wheels, putting the spacers on, and putting the wheels back in. Because I see videos of other people using extended wheel studs and removing the brake caliper and rotor.

 

Yes, all you need to do is to remove the wheel, put the spacer in place and bolt the wheel back on with the new bolts. Those spacers you’re talking about is because those cars normally use studs. But with bolts like the new IS is much more simple.

 

Okok sounds good, and yeah that makes sense, all the videos I've watched were all on different cars and had no mentions of bolts. Thanks for clarifying everything as yeah this is my first time doing any modification to any car. Definitely saved me from making the wrong judgements.

 

Hey I’m planning on installing the same size mm Spacers from ******.

It comes with the extended bolts, but how did you find out which wheel locks set would work with the spacers? thanks in advance.

 

I am not sure how to answer your question.. are you asking me what my steps were to figure it out as in the math involved? Or do you want the link to the wheel locks?
