Default 944S2: Longer lug bolts?

Hey all...anyone have a recommended source for longer press in lug bolts/nuts? And, what is the recommended size to purchase? I doing this to allow for some 10-15mm spacers if needed.

Looking for the best price.

Thanks,
Chad

I just ordered some from Paragon, should arrive tomorrow. Standard size for an S2 is 50mm, so go longer. I ordered 72 mm studs to allow for a variety of spacers.

Bought mine from Paragon a couple years ago, they had the best price. They also had the stock sizes listed on their website, so you can order based off those.

Gotta pull the stub axle to put them in, right?

I didn't have to. I just knocked them out from the front, there was room behind the hub for the studs to pop out without having to remove anything. An S2 might be different, that I don't know.

Getting the new ones in was a bit tedious, but not difficult.

Picked up a 12-ton arbor press from HF yesterday to make the job a bit easier.

As mentioned above Paragon has them, if you need really long ones (100mm) Smart RAcing Products has them.
