Ok - I've searched and searched, but cant seem to find reliable and complete information. So I've gathered that the Red BBS Lug Nuts on an E9x require a stud conversion kit. It seems that Macht Schnell or Turner Motor Sport or Vorshlag are the most common brands, but most are 75mm. Won't this stick out too much particularly with a closed lug nut and no spacers?

I assume the length of the stud needs to be the exact length if the plan is to run closed lug nuts which I believe the BBS ones are. Is the right length for an E93 60mm? I can't tell what length studs are being used in the pictures shown here, and then I can't tell if there are spacers being run on them as well requiring a longer stud.

Lastly, if I use a wheel lock with studs, does that mean you replace the lug nut on one stud per tire with the wheel lock lug nut? If that's the case, then the whole point of a uniform lug nut look is lost no?
