customizing my mini.... suggestions

hey again everyone,
I just bought some new wheels for my R56, I'm trying to determine whether or not I need to replace my wheel studs with my new wheels or not.... tire rack says I don't need them but I'm hesitant because im not about to mount these to later on have an issue when its too late....thoughts?

Depends if they are conical or tapered seat wheels. What brand? Also assuming you are mean wheel bolts unless you have a stud conversion. If tire rack says the same bolts, they probably are but you should definitely test fit them and/or double check with another source. I had discount tire send lugs that were a bit short.

If your tire rack search was for your specific model year Mini, you should be OK. I've had no problems with three different wheel buys from them. All necessary parts were included.
