The last little problem I ran into was when I went to put my original lug nuts on and realized that the new studs were 1/2". Woops.
I want to redo my rear brakes as well but I think I may just keep them stock. It would be pretty pricey and from what I understand the majority of the stopping power comes from the fronts.

Are you saying that the studs will NOT take the factory lug nuts. I have the 16" Diamond spoke wheels and it uses a chrome plastic cap that screws onto the lug nut. The lugs are 3/4".
