So after realizing that the wheel spacers I put on my car had no effect on the previous problem I was having (the rear end issue), I am considering removing them because it is kinda an unnecessary spacing and extra wide stance that the car doesn't really need with 315s.

Here's my question:

If I changed out my studs when I had the wheel spacers installed, will the same wheels still fit on the newer studs, or will I have to replace them back with the stock studs? Thanks.

I am going to take a guess you installed longer studs, like 3" studs? If so, the same wheels will work, but ONLY if you run an OPEN ended lug nut. You can buy them or you can cut the caps off your ones you have now. The stud will stick through and many people do not like how that looks, its your call. If you don t want to do that, you will need new stock studs installed

For further clarification:

Do I need NEW studs? As in, I can't use my old stock ones?
