    Wheel stud engagement

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I test fitted my new 18" B5 RS4 reps yesterday and the bolt pattern is right but for some reason the wheel studs don't go in as far as on my stock wheels. I would say they engage about 70% as far before they bottom out on the wheel itself.

    Should I be worried about this or should I just regularly check to see if they are tight?

    If it does not, where do I find longer studs?
