4lug stud length
I have a set of Enkei evo5's that I used to have on my old car before it was totaled.
they are 4x108 and 4x100. I was going to sell and try to buy new rims but decided that I think these would look good on the rex.
Now the problem is is that the stock 4 lug that came in the se is 4x114.3, meaning I will need wheel adapters to properly fit the car.
Now my question is, does anyone know how long the threaded stud is on the 4 lugs? I'm sure they are the same length as the 5lug, I just want to make sure that the adapters will be thick enough to completely hid the studs when bolted on since there is no clearance for it on the rims if the top of the studs are sticking out when installed. Another reason why I plan to do so is that it will drop car a centimeter or two since the wheels will be a bit further away from the chassis.
thanks in advance guys

On the Mazdatrix site, the front studs are listed as 2" including the non-threaded portion that gets pressed into the hub. The rear studs aren't listed, but appear shorter from the picture.

I believe you need at least a 25mm (1") spacer to completely cover the original studs, but you need to be sure your wheels will still fit with that. If the wheels have recessed areas on the back side, a smaller adapter can be used since the lug will sit in that area.
