Will 18x9.5 wheels fit on the stock studs?
 
I ordered a set of Vordoven Forme 9 and am wondering if i will be needing extended studs or would the stock ones hold up? thanks in advance

Stock studs will be fine.

Will fit on stock studs, but what's your offset? You may rub stock spring perch.

As a general rule (assuming the wheel maker isn't stupid and made some wheels w/ absurdly thick backpad/lug seat):

you'll only need extended studs if you are using slip-on spacers larger than 3mm. Or if you're running racing-type open-ended lug nuts.

this.

Even if this backpad was thick (some are for low offset wheels if not made up by increasing lip/concave), they would shave and drill the lug holes themselves to around 18mm thickness so you wouldnt need to run longer studs.

We are making assumptions based on the fact that the factory knows what they are doing... but some of them don't.

Some wheel brands w/ cheap/poor quality factories have shipped wheels without properly drilled lug seats.

I know, I've seen it come in from Asia on containers and had to scrap entire pallets of wheels because they weren't drilled properly.

I don't associate with poor quality wheels so I don't run into this on a personal basis lol
