wheel studs needed for changing to Braid 17" Fuchs

Replacing my RUF wheels (with spacers) with a new set of Braid 9x17" & 11x17' Fuchs style wheels (no spacers) and wondering what length wheel studs I'll need to have. Anybody know the answer, please?

Depends on the look you’re after. If you want that motorsports extended lug look, jus use open ended lugnuts. If you’re after a finished flush look using your oem lugnuts, swap the rears to the oem 65mm length. I had narrow bodied Ruf wheels with extended studs and spacers when I bought my car and hated the idea of narrow tires and spacers and did the exact thing as you’re planning. I’m now running 17x11 and 17x9’s without spacers and quite happy.

Use standard open ended nuts to hold the wheel on, then put your OEM nuts on. It will look standard without changing studs.
