Default Wheel studs, spacers, Lugnut?

Alright, well im going to be replacing all 16 of my wheel studs since i cross threaded all of them with the wrong wheel locks. Now my question is, do you think the Blox Extended Wheel studs are good choice to use for my Del sol? Heres a link... http://jdmultimate.com/blox-ra....aspx
And what kind of wheel spacers would you recommend? And do i need to also purchase a new set of lugnuts as well? Alright thank you!

You managed to cross thread all 16 studs? Holy crap.

If I were you I'd go with OE studs from a dealer, and just get some lug nuts at a tire shop. Then you dont have to bother with spacers.

But i want to add wheel spacers for my car to give it a better stance. So do you think if i buy OE studs at honda, theres wheel spacers out there that is capable of working with the OE wheel studs? Or do you think i have to buy extended wheel studs???

If you're going for stance, then I would recommend longer studs, just search and find a company with a good reputation. You don't want your wheels falling off.

depends how big of a spacer you want. you can get away with 6mm spacers on stock studs.

Well i decided on a conclusion, and im no longer doing wheel spacers since it seems a bit unsafe. So im just going to buy some OG Wheels with a +25 offset so that my wheels will stick out a bit. And im just going to use extended lug nuts.
