215's on 9" will not work with the low profile you are gonna have to run to make them fit under the fender. not enough sidewall to stretch

I'm pretty sure they make those type of lug nuts with a shorter shank. You could always just cut some off so they are not to long though.

But you really do need longer studs, With the stud not sticking out past the face of the rim when you put the lug nut on none of the threads will be up in the hex section. So the only thing holding your rims on is the thickness of the shank. So the tops can just pop off.

Looks **** though, look even better with a some stretched tires
