i have some 8mm wheel spacers that i want to throw on the rears but im not sure if i will need new wheel studs. i done some searchin and saw that people using 10mm and 15mm need new wheel studs and 5mm dont. but what about 8mm. thanks for the input...

 

are you asking about longer wheel studs, if so yes you will need them for 8mm...I have them and I had to put new studs in any other questions pm me I can give you more details on this

 

ya im looking for longer wheel studs. where did u purchase your studs from i want to keep my lugs and i cant find too many with the 12x1.25 thread. the only one i can find are nismo wheel studs and those are pricy http://www.courtesyparts.com/nismo/bolts/index.html

 

Rishi, check your PMs.

 

8mm would be unwise to use without longer studs. I have a set of 8mm spacers myself which I haven't installed because the stock studs would only have 2 or 3 threads engaged.

 

I believe that you can get them from H&R. I looked into them a while ago, and remembered that they sell them. They may be a special order though from the vendor that you decide to go with.

 

no I have contacted HR and opstionsauto.com and they both told me the same thing. The studs that come with their kits they will not sell separate. So basically if you already have the spacers you will have to buy a whole new set of spacers just to get the longer studs, its worth it to just get the nismo ones for 60$ will save you time, trying to find ones that will work, trust me I know and I ended up buying the Nismo ones, just call courtesy and place the order over the phone cause I screwed up and ordered the wrong ones. any questions let me know.

 

Bruce, that's not entirely true. I've placed multiple orders with TireRack for just the studs. It's just a pain in small quantities because of shipping and handling charges ($20+).

In fact I've got one set of 8 used and 2 new 60mm studs for sale right now. $35 incl shipping for anybody who needs.

 

ummm yeah I need them....send me a pm with paypal info!

 

ususally if ur under 10mm on spacers u will be fine with stock studs...but it all depends on ur wheel offset as well.....just count to be sure u have like 7 full turns of the lug nut
