Wheel stud length? I am confused as to what is the factory stud length. I seem to be finding conflicting info on the internet. I thought the studs were 45mm . I am installing 10 mm spacers Eric Shea recommended 56mm which would make sense for 8 or 10mm spacers if they are 45mm. Then I found this add on Paragon.
Replace those tired and damaged wheel studs with our new pieces or increase the length for use with spacers.
Here's a basic list of sizes used as original:
45mm - 944 83-86, 924S (front); 924S, 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (rear)
50mm - 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (front)
52mm - 911 65-89 (front and rear)
66mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (front)
66mm - 944 83-85.1 (rear w/factory spacer)
72mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (rear)
A 914-6 isn't listed but I would think it should be the same as a 911 So now I am confused. Anyone know for certain what is the original stud length on a 914-6?
Thanks
Tom
I thought they were the same as the 911 (50-52mm)
I put 72mm on the front and 100mm on my car and use open lugnuts
Thanks guys.
I had the 45mm in my head and was just shopping for the right length until I saw the Paragon listing. I think they just have it wrong. I want to stick with the finished look of the alloy lugs so I need to get this right.
Thanks again
Tom
I believe they have the descriptions mixed up:
45mm - 911 65-89 (front and rear)
50mm - 944 83-86, 924S (front); 924S, 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (rear)
52mm - 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (front)
66mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (front)
66mm - 944 83-85.1 (rear w/factory spacer)
72mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (rear)
Tom, figure your spacers and, you have roughly 5mm to play with under those aluminum nuts.
Yup... pretty simple. Just add your spacer width to the stock stud. 45+10 = 56mm
