The alloys came with 10 acorn style lug nuts and 10 lug bolts? My Syncro has studs at all 4 corners. The ones in the rear look a little short and the ones in the front look just barely long enough, about 9 full rotations of the lug nuts vs about 6 on the rear. My question is what is the proper configuration for the changing from steel wheels on a Syncro to alloys from a Non-Syncro? Do I replace all studs to longer ones and buy another 10 acorn style lug nuts? Or do I pull all the studs and buy 10 more lug bolts? Or? Thanks in advance. >> buy 10 more alloy wheel nuts. no need to do anything w/ studs. fwiw, you can get the alloy nuts aftermarket, too... chris
