With My new wheel, lug nuts holds the stud like 1/8 inch. I have longer studs that 5 mm longer (about 3/16 inch)Is the studs long enough to hold wheels?

Well, as a rule of thumb, you need to have the nut threaded on there for at least the width of the stud. Therefor, the stud is 12mm wide. With a 1.25 thread, that would take 9.6 turns. By what you're saying, WITH the 5mm longer studs, you're only going to get 6.35 mm of threading. So, no, don't use them. I'm sure somewhere has those lugnuts in stock.

Someone here had the hookup on Nismo parts, right? If not, call Courtesy.
