stud conversion makes swapping of wheels much easier as the wheels go right over the studs, as opposed to having to hold the wheel with 1 hand while trying to get the lugs through the hole.

studs also allow you to put on any width adapter w/o having to worry about the correct extended lug length (since the stud can accompany most spacers, and you just then tighten with the open lug).

for you, i'd say the latter is most relavent, especially if you also decide to run spacers on the front. just make sure, regardless of stud or extended lugs, you get wheel locks for those nice wheels. if you stick with lugs you can get extended RAD locks for the rears (too long for the front so just keep the ones you have now for front and remember to keep both wheel lock adapters in the car).

stud conversion will cost money so if you're not switching wheels out often, you're probably better off keeping to lugs =)
