Four lug or five ? If you have a 5-stud conversion, you can use longer studs in the rotors & 1" slip over spacers. Not sure of supplier of spacers, but T3 Technique in Redmond, Wa has amazing supplies of wheel studs, bolts. 425.836.5983.
Best wishes... Terry |

Terry As an engineer the concept of studs that long concerns me,but that just me,I know people on here have done it and Porsche did it on the early 944 with the spacer they used in the rear of those cars. The 30mm H&R one I showed is actually a spacer adaptor,I prefer this type of design for the thicker spacers. |

Those are also illegal in most (if not all) racing organizations. Probably fine for street driving though. I have 100mm wheel studs on all 4 corners on my car with no ill effects. The long studs allow me to quickly change wheels and spacers of various sizes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
