Default For those who have 19" superleggeras

I am considering getting a second set of wheels for my car and as I have the longer wheel studs for the Leggs was wondering if I would run across any problems when fitting another set of wheels due to the stud length, I am looking at old style MO's at the moment, does anyone have any experience with both of these sets of wheels and swapping them over please.

many thanks

4 options Matt.
1. Use open ended wheel nuts when using the Mo's with no spacers
2. Use an Et40 set of Mo's
3. Change the spacers for ones that retain the original studs, and merely unbolt.

4. Knock the long studs out everytime you swap your rims over

Thanks Chris
The wheels and bolts are from you originally, and the nuts for the MO's are Group A sleeved ones, I think they are open ended, but what I don't want is stupid little stubby wheel bolts sticking right through the wheel nut and ruining the atmos!!!
