Extended Wheel Studs
#1

Where do most people get their extended wheel studs from? Does anyone have the measurements that are required/used?
I am trying to get some that are long enough to fit 20mm spacers or so. I would assume I need something in the range of 90mm length studs.
thanks.

Surely 20mm spacers will have their own studs?? TTBoMK only 5-7mm shims require longer studs - anything wider than that will have it's own studs so the spacer bolts to the hub and the wheel bolts to the spacer.

To answer the original question, they are available in many lengths. Pelican Parts sells them up to 100mm long.
Whether they are safe or not is subject to much debate. I happen to run 24mm spacers on the rear of my track car. This is legal in the organizations I run with and I have had no troubles with the studs. I have broken a rear hub, though...

I have 55 mm studs on the rear so I can safely have 8 mm of spacer to prevent tire rub (stock studs are 45 mm).

I've put too many 100mm studs on turbo flared early cars to accomodate anything from 9 to 11 inch rear wheels to even remember. Never a problem. As Mark above, I've always used longer rear studs on the 964's to allow for massaging clearance issues.
