now you need longer lug bolts to get the lug nuts to fit properly.

That last point is a good one, after Eric (EMGuy) and I ran my car last year, I immediately decided replacing the OE wheel studs was going to be a good preventitive modification. The OE's dont have a whole lot of thread engagment, especially if you run a wheel on the wider side of the allowable range to maximize track width. For people who are changing wheels every event and running often, probably a good idea to be precautious. We had some issues getting the aftermarket lug nuts started and wanting to crossthread.
