I cannot say for sure, but would think that bolts 1cm further out than they were spose to be would not be recommended.

yer but it takes about 15 minutes a wheel.
all you need is a hammer to knock the old ones out.
some locktight
and a open nut the same as the stud and a washer or 2.

you put the new stud in place with a bit of locktight
then use the open nut to pull it into place from the outside.

I don't think it's very hard. But best to get advice from the likes of Boost (he will probably comment when he sees this) as he is running massive wheels and a wide body kit on his V6 MR2.

it's not a hard job, it's only the backs and if you can chance disks then this is about the same as, better with longer bolts that add on spacers as the bearings will get more wear just as is said. this is the kind if thing you can do at home,
