if you use them wheel nuts you have to take them inserts out as they wont fit other wise.
whats the offset of the wheels you are using

c9sse your wrong
them studs are designed so you can use a group a wheel with grpa/grp14 studs in them
you need to keep the inserts AND buy the studs

i wouldnt think so no, your best bet is to ring martin at reyland and see if he can find out for you, the inserts dont look too bad when theyre painted though, i quite like em

Do what you did with your old saff.Put one set of wheels on on side and the others on the other side.
