I got away with standard studs/nuts on my SApph with MOs and group a inserts? They are the curved spoke MOs though.

ive seen too many videos of standard studs and nuts shearing off on cossies with group a wheels mate so dont want to risk it! plus when putting the nuts on i found you only get about 5 full turns of the nut with standard studs and group a inserts which is no where near enough to be safe

I can't remember how many turns i got on mine, but whatever it is Martin Hadland said it was fine. I have longer studs here, but i've never gotten round to fitting them lol.
