Seat is neat - but length matters....

Hi Chad,
Two critical issues associated with bolts/studs....
1. the way that the head of the bolt seats against the wheel flange: you should be able to judge that by looking at the two mating surfaces..
2. length of the bolt. If the thickness of the wheel flange changes from OEM (usually thicker), the bolt may not reach deep enough into the threaded hole in order to hold the wheel in place. It (they) may snap under load.
As such,
If it were up to me, I would replace the studs (they stretch over time [as they should - its part of their design]) - after all, the ones you have are over ten years old. They may be case hardened (you can tell by the number of tic marks on the head of the bolt) - but a new set will only cost $15-20 max.
Happy and safe motoring..
eric
