    at least 5 - 10mm, but you'll need longer studs as well.

    10mm should do it, you could use wheel studs from a land cruiser.. but I'd say its too much trouble.. replacing wheel studs = PITA! Just grab new rims when u have the cash, like the set I showed u =P

    for 10MM you dont need new studs.. you can just get the lugnuts that have the extra "sleeve" that extends the threads down into the stud..

    but honestly, a lower offset would work much better :)

    Yo Tamago, did you have to roll your fenders in for the particular tires you're using? what's the offset on your rims btw?

    haven't touched the fenders, or any modification at all actually.

    yes, 42mm is standard and will work if the tire width adn drop is right on the car.
