    Anything longer than 5mm you will want longer studs. I've been running a temporary generic 8mm w/o longer studs up front and 20mm (built in studs) in the rear for about 5000 miles and the lug nuts are are good and tight with no issues of vibration...but I wouldn't recommend it long term.

    I'm going to a 15mm up front and 30mm in the back soon and I will need to either replace the studs or get an spacer that

    Looks like this:

    much less work than replacing the studs with longer ones. The Touring 16" wheel has a space where the spacer with the built in studs will work.

    Just make sure you get really good quality material.. grade 8 studs.
