Press in, and I think the knurl is "unique" to the 4th Gen at 0.509". You need to check that. You will definitely have problems with the longer studs. Making it even worse it the fact that they include an extra 1/2" of unthreaded length to help guide the wheel on the stud.

This will give you an idea of the magnitude of the problem:

Yes, and the front ones are relatively easy to replace. Btw, I'm using the ARP studs with 3.5" Weld Draglites and a 5/16" spacer.

Mine look ok since I cut out the end of the lug nut cap and painted the ends of the studs black.

Re: Skinnies up front.

i agree 100% i drive on the street with weld aluma star 2.0s and the car turns, just not like u'd like it too, be careful around corrners, and turning fast, i've had the car go straight when i've turned the wheel quick, they are really too small for driving on the street, u kinda need a wider tire contact patch, and the car dont stop too good.... flat spotted a few ds-2s

If you use the ARP studs putting the stock wheels back on will not be a problem. The longer ARP studs do not have the extra length of non threaded area and fit under my factory caps with the stock wheels on.
