Where can I get longer studs?

I just bought a pair of H&R 15mm wheel spacers but my friend who sold me them didnt give me longer studs. I was wondering if I could find longer studs that would fit my 2k2 instead of getting them directly from H&R? Does anyone know what length and diameter I would need? Help would be much appriacated!

Tell me that's a photochop in your sig.

Easiest solution is to knock one out and take it to your local auto parts store. You can easily find the same one there, but longer.

Funny you mention that, because I work at an Aftermarket auto parts store: www.performanceimprovements.com

But I couldnt find any for Nissans other than H&R's.

How hard are the studs to remove?

I really want to get wheel spacers myself, but didn't realize you need longer studs. Are they hard to knock out?

Also, is it 15mm front and back? I heard of other people getting 20mm for the back or something. Can you also tell me where you got them and how much?

Thanks!

get the Nismo 60mm studs if you want the longer ones but be prepared to change teh style of lugnuts/locks or even wheels to get tehm to fit right...they will not work in all wheel/lug applications you may want...

Where can I get a hold of these Nismo studs? I'm using my stock 17" SE rims and dont plan on changing the rims any time soon.

Today I phoned H&R directly and they were useless. I told them I just needed there studs but they said they couldnt sell my the studs seperately which is idiotic. I bought the spacers from a friend of mine but he didnt provide me with the studs which they should have came with.

Try Checker or Autozone.

I've done a couple and never had a problem finding them there.

Damn we dont have Checker or Autozone in Canada. What brand of studs were these ones you've found or were they sold loosely?

Didn't notice. They were all individually packaged in a clear plastic baggy with a white label that just gave a size/thread measurement. They had TONS of different sizes. It just takes awhile to find the one that fits.

BTW, also take ONE lug nut with you to test. You guys have to have autoparts stores like an Autozone/Checker. Otherwise, I don't know how you guys survive. I'm not positive, but I'd even try a hardware store like ACE Hardware, if you guys have those. Maybe even your local Nissan may have a Pathfinder or 350Z or something that has a similar, but longer stud. Worth a shot.

No kidding. Heck, a 5 second search on google.com shows Carquest is up there.

j/k
Yeah I havent been to a Carquest before but we do have them in Canada. We dont have any ACE hardware strores though I found the studs at Courtesy Nissan but they want $8 per stud which is too much. I'll give a call to some local shops in my area and see.
