Default Whileimatit strikes again.

Since I am putting new rotors and calipers on and have to have the hubs turned on a lathe, I might as well install new lugs and bearings.

Oh, and I might as well switch to the faster steering position on the arm.

And since that needs an alignment anyway, I might as well redo the tie rods and lower the car...

Does it ever end??

No it doesn't. The new lugs should be pretty easy on the fronts. The rear might be very tricky. Seriously. Especially if you don't want to remove your spindle(s). Maybe your dust cover is relieved for lug replacement. If so, you're lucky. If not you are about to have a lot of fun.

BTW, if you go with 3" Moroso lug studs in 7/16" x 20 and the .480" knurl, you might very well have to enlarge the holes. I forget exactly the spec, but I found a 12mm drill was right in the middle of the spread.

Good luck.
