all 4 and I didn't trim anything, the solstice wheels had a 55 offset, ours have a 40, so I ordered the 15mm spacers came out just perfect.

Awesome. One more question: for the spacers, did you just use the cheap generic ones like the $15-20 sets all over eBay?

Lo and behold, I actually got three boxes with 10 wheel studs each. I'm truly shocked. At 23¢ apiece, I can't help but believe that's a pricing error. These are around $1.75-2.50 each locally and elsewhere online!



Now I need to actually come up with the scratch to make a deal on the Sky rims or these will just be gathering dust....

THAT gave me a chuckle. I do that kind of **** when I see a really good deal. Hope it is easy for you to close the deal. My wife loves to remind me about unfinished stuff like that for years. However, in my mind, having 25-30 LESS pairs of shoes means I am immune... Girl world is different, but that idea actually got me some breathing room. True story.

Are you at stock SS height or lowered? What was the length of the stud, and what spacer/ from where did you get it?
Car looks good!

Sorry to (again) dredge up such an old thread, but I finally got around to actually using (or rather, wanting to use) the studs that I bought three years ago. While the overall length is as advertised, the problem is that the last half inch or so isn't threaded, so although I got a great deal on the studs themselves, the thread is only about 5 mm more than stock, hardly enough to work with the 15mm spacers I'm going to be using. After downloading the full Dorman wheel stud spreadsheet (from this page) and then looking at photos online, it looks like 610-323 is what I should really be using with these wheels and spacers. Thought I should post this in case my previous info led anyone else to make the same mistake. I've got some coming but it'll be 3-4 days before they're here. Oh, well -- I waited three years, so another few days won't hurt.

In between rain events, I managed to get the 323 lugs installed yesterday, along with the 15mm spacers and Sky rims. Not too shabby!
