Square 19x11 setup- are extended REAR wheel studs also needed?

[BigChief]

Hey all, thanks in advance for the help. I know we need extended front studs and a spacer to run 19x11 ET52 wheels and tires, but are extended REAR wheel studs also needed? Would a 19x11 ET52 on the rear work with the stock wheel studs and lug nuts, or even the open ended lugs?

No. Rotatable 19x11 square setups don't require extended rear studs.

If you aren't installing spacers you should be fine.

Thank you both that will make things easier/cheaper lol. For the fronts- Is it easier to just get new hubs with the longer studs already pressed in, or just get new studs for the existing hubs? The car has about 6 track days and only about 11k miles on it right now. I dont see the point of new hubs, but if it's easier to do it that way or may improve their longevity then maybe it's worth the extra money?

It's not hard to install the studs, but unbolting a hub and bolting another hub in is easier depending on what tools you have access to.

As other already answered, your essentially running 4 rear wheels, so you only need to make accommodations to run them on the front (studs/spacers)

You guys are all awesome, thank you for the quick responses.

Just curious what tires you will be using on this setup.

I have this exact setup for real wheel including offset, nothing additional needed. Throw them bad boys on.

Just put this set up on my car.
Apex SM-10 / 19x11 ET52. Riding on Michelin Pilot Super Sports 305-35/19.
Changed the front hubs with longer lugs and using 25mm spacers w/ open ended lug nuts.
Love this set up. Unless you have a Quick Jack, putting a regular floor jack under the car is a no go. Use regular ramps and there's no issue with sliding the floor jack under the car.

I broke 3 rear studs and then gave up and put APR studs in the back as well. Now life is good.

Bummer !
You must be pretty hard on that ol' horse...

This is a great thread. I’m thinking of the same setup.
if I changed to two ford performance rear wheel hub on the front plus the spacers would I be able to use the original lug nuts? Or would I have to switch to open lug nuts?
