It depend's on what rims you have.

wheel assuming i'm looking for a stock size and stock wheels.

i do have an aftermarket set of wheels but my stock studs do a good job of it. just 3 were stripped out due to retard tire mounters so i need to take care of those.

Ive never heard that before. Ive gone through a couple of sets of rims and never ran into that issue. I guess if the rims arent for a maxima then this might apply, but at that point there may be other issues as well. other then needing longer studs.
The only time stud legnth became a factor for me was when using spacers.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but...the geniuses at Town Fair Tire just stripped 3 of my studs too I have the replacement studs and my question is, how difficult are they to replace? Do I just take the caliper and rotor off or do I have to mess with the axle bearings? Thanks in advance for the help. -Alex

Front, I assume.

No biggie. Remove wheel/caliper/torque member/rotor, bang the old ones out, insert the new ones in.

Do you have an impact, electric or pneumatic? If so, just put a washer on the stud (outboard side), put the lugnut on, and hammer away until it's seated. If not, you could use a tire iron but that's a ***** and it takes a long time.

You could leave them in as far as you can do them by hand, then take it to a shop and have a tech hit them with an impact (w/ torque stick, preferably) for a few seconds, back them off, then torque them properly.
