Default Longer wheel studs

Posted this in the brakes and suspension section, but didn't get much luck. Recently installed LS400 brakes on my 93 SC400. Purchased new 18" wheels, that only needed minor spacers (less than 10mm). I would like to replace all the front studs with ones that are just a bit longer so that the lugs grab more thread. Car is in storage for a few more weeks, and when I installed the wheels, I forgot to count the turns to tighten. Just didn't feel like enough and would rather be safe than sorry.

Local auto parts store is useless. Anyone have the Dorman part number that I can order that is a direct fit, just longer? Thanks in advance.

It would be better if you looked up the size and length and then just looked for an idential size + your 10mm

I used arp studs for all of mine. They are made for the is300 and they work very well. Im not sure how much longer but im running a 10mm spacer in the back and have had no problem.

Thank you. I will look into that, as my spacers are close to 10mm.
