anyone know where to get the extended studs for the back of our cars? i wanna go to a larger spacer i have and the studs arent even close to long enough.....if u have a toyota kragen or autozone part number or a part number from anywhere else for extended studs please do tell....

 

nevermind then....guess no one knows....im going to order the h&r 25mm spacers since i dont have to replace my bolts with those....takes care of that problem

 

those come with longer studs

 

i know...i have 10 and 5mm spacers sitting here...i just need longer studs....thats why i asked for studs first....but now i gotta get another set of spacers just to get studs...BAH cant win cant win cant win

 

When you get those adapter spacers... the type that have wheel studs in them, and bolt to your existing studs, you have to be careful of what kind of wheel you run with them. Depending on the length of your stock studs, and the thickness of the spacer, some stud might protrude from the face of the adapter. This isn't a problem if you have a wheel that has cutouts between wheel mounting holes in its mounting pad. But if your wheel's mounting pad is just flat in between the mounting holes, it will not sit flat on the adapter spacer either.

Here's what I mean...
This is a bolt-on adapter spacer (don't mind the fact that it's 5 lug):


Notice that if your studs are long enough, they will extend beyond the flat outer mounting surface of the spacer:


Which wouldn't be a problem if you had cutouts or holes in between the mounting holes of your wheels... like in the top right picture here.. note the empty spaces between the mounting holes on the pad:

 

i went 15mm in the back and left the front alone for now...glad i didnt get the 25mm h&r spacer....well wouldnt have been to bad....the 4inch grinder woulda come in handy for a minute.....i woulda just ground the bolts flush...but now im just gonna replace the studs in the back and go with a 15mm spacer....
