Fronts would have been bolts originally, but quite common to be converted to studs if different wheels have been fitted, especially if spacers used.

Do you mean that you are using closed nuts and they won't tighten down on the wheel if spacers not fitted? Can't see a problem with using spacers if tyres are clearing wheel arches etc. other option is to use open nuts, or shorten the studs.

yes used closed nuts and a spacer on back and that ok but front has less stud showing so was thinking of changing studs to standard lenght ones
