914World.com _ 914World Garage _ where to find a 50mm wheel stud?

Posted by: brant Sep 15 2021, 08:44 AM

anyone know a competitive priced place to find a 50mm wheel stud?

I had a tire rub on the inside during my trip to RRC
threw spacers on (5mm)

so looking at my options for this problem
one of which is to put in a longer stud

Eric Shea pointed me to these guys a while back. Their link is not working now. Not sure what that means.

thanks... I'll keep checking on them.
going to see how much I can grind away from the inner GT-stiffening plate
the rub is only pretty much happening on one of the proud welds..
so might be able to partially solve my problem with the grinder... and see how much good that does.

You will likely need to get a Porsche stud from a Porsche place.

You might not need longer studs, 5mm isn't that much. I ran 5/16" spacers for years. Then I scored 65mm studs from a 944 rear at the PaP and went to 21mm spacers.

Also Ebay has 3mm (1/8") spacers if you just need a bit.
