Does anyone know where you can find longer wheel studs for an Xb? I got the BBist fender flares but my stock studs are to short for the spacer i need to push my wheels out to the edge of the flares.

 

Most places that sell spacers also sell extended studs. My Ichiba spacers had them included in the spacer kit (in a 5MM spacer kit they had extended studs, tho I see no reason to use them with only 5MM spacer...plenty of stud left still with these...bigger spacer than 5MM then studs would be needed I am sure).

 

Im runnning a 10mm shim that goes behind the rear hub assembly and I also have a 5mm spacer that goes over the studs and I used the stock wheel studs...There was plenty of thread and so far my rear wheels haven't fallen off...lol

 

I'd recommend the 20mm rear spacers from One Ton Garage. You don't have to fool with changing studs.

Nice!! I stand corrected I guess my eyeball eyeballed the studs shorter than they are!!

 

I have H&R TRAK 15mm spacers on the rear of my xB and they came with extended lugs.

 

can someone confirm this for me? i have a pair of 5mm spacers laying around and ive been debating with myself whether i need extended studs for them. would it be safe on a daily driver?

 

I indeed have 5MM spacers on the back of my first gen xB. There is plenty of engagement between the lugnut and stud for safety. If you read above it seems that spacers up to 20MM might leave enough stud for safe engagement of the lug nuts, but 5MM is no problem at all for sure.

 

Yes indeed, he speaks the truth...I had 5MM spacers for awhile without extended lugs and there is PLENTY of thread engagement...

 

good to know. thanks guys
