reaching the hubcentric wheel (factory) and break studs.

I addressed that in my post that is now stickied. 50mm studs can be used on the OEM wheels and OEM lug nuts without bottoming out. (OEM wheel locks do bottom out though). Also work for aftermarket wheels and lug nuts.

yah, but why the hell would i want to be swapping out studs just to put
aftermarket wheels in the first place? tell the wheel manufacturer to
make their wheels correctly.

ive never had to do this on the literally dozens of aftermarket wheels ive
purchased in the past.
