I picked up some boxster wheels for my 951, and unfortunately the wheels required me to add a 7mm front spacer (grrr!), so now I don't quite have enough stud thread exposed to mount the wheels. I would need a 7mm (or slightly shorter/longer) wheel stud to mount the wheels.

Not finding much online other than 66mm wheel studs (which would be too long). Are there any other Porsche models that use a 50-55mm wheel stud that I could use? Ideally I would like to find another application so I can just buy some used studs.

Or, plan B, a good source for new 944 wheel studs that are longer than stock?



Thanks

I get my wheel spacers off ebay but the trick is to get hub centric spacers. Here is a video I put together a while back:

Thanks guys. Interesting that when I call some places, like Auto Atlanta, they say NEVER use spacers and extended studs (even though they sell them), instead they recommend having the wheel hub machined to fit the bigger hub. So machining the wheels or longer studs. Oh well.

It's just a liability thing on their part because mixing up offsets and spacers can overload the wheel bearings on some cars meaning wheel comes off..

944 studs are just M14x1.5, I want to say that Ford Trucks since about 2003 on use that size and come in a variety of length (single vs dually)
So maybe you can find some at your Ford dealer or local auto parts store..
