yes you would need longer studs. you can also buy kics spacers with the intergrated studs. installation is easy. no hassle of pounding out the old.

we have a new vendor that is selling the bolt on Type II vs, I had them on a previous lexus and they are great and priced good. It takes about 5 minutes to install and you dont replace any studs and they remove easily also. check it out!

yeah, that vendor is selling the Ichiba units, which are supposedly the best out there aside from maybe H&R. you'll either need extended studs or the spacers with built in studs.

if you have wheels with the big center caps that cover the lugs, be careful that the extended lugs will clear the center cap.
