Bolts or studs for JL Rubicon’s wheels?

And what’s the difference?
Thanks

The JL has 14mm studs. Studs are already on the vehicle pressed through a flange so you can slip the wheel right on it, then use your lug nuts and thread them onto the stud.

On other vehicles that use bolts, there are no lug nuts. There are just threaded bores on the flange, so you have to hold up the wheel carefully while threading in your bolt, a lot more work that way.

Early information about bolts turned out to be incorrect. The JL has 14mm studs and requires a 22mm socket to remove the lug nuts.

So it’s the same as a JK? Or is the 14mm different. Have nice black lugs on our JK that I want to bring over with our rims!
