longer studs and lug nuts problem
hi guys, i was wondering if anyone can help me figure this out.
i have longer studs (form pilo racing) quite awhile ago to go with my 15mm spacers up front to clear my stoptech. and now i can't remember what length are those studs, and i'm changing wheels to TD PR1.2, and in case i don't need spacers or as big of a spacer, i don't know if these longer studs will have problem with lug nuts. as the lock of the lugs are close end instead of open end, it might not clear (fully be threaded in). in that case, anyone got any suggestion in finding lug nuts/lock thats open ended and are extended for longer stud use? or if anyone recall the length of the longest piloracing studs, and if they have problem with no spacers fitment?
thanks guys!

Texas Speedwerks sells studs and lugs. Oh yeah, might want to use capital letters to start every new sentence as I was having a hard time reading your post.
Given what you've written, I think you'll need new lugs.

In August of 2006 MINI switched to a 14mmx1.25 lug. Older cars use a 12x1.5 lug.
You can use open ended lug nuts but the end of the studs will stick out.
Or you can use racing lug nuts which can be colored, open ended or closed ended and comes in short (45mm) or long (60mm) version.
