I bought the 5 lug Billet hubs from Brad back in the day. I’m seeking the stud length from someone that has installed or worked with them.
I’m going to add spacers and would like to order longer studs before pulling the hubs. Attached image(s)

The rule of thumb I was taught is, steel on steel you want thread engagement at least equal to the diameter of the stud and steel on aluminum you want 1.5 times the diameter of the stud.
So for a 14mmm stud you want a minimum of 21mm engagement into the aluminum hub and 14mm engagement into the lug nut if it is steel and 21mm of you have aluminum lug nuts. So 35mm or 42mm plus the thickness of the spacer you're going to use plus the thickness of the wheels you're using. I would include some additional length so I could have more thread engagement than minimum. What wheels are you running and what spacers are you going to use? Jim |
