dan106 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Im going to be getting some new wheels in jan/feb time.The fronts hit the caliper carriers, how big a spacers can i run on my standard studs without endangering the threads and that? Ill need to skim some metal off the carrier but the way i see it the less the better!And opinions on these nuts, ive heard how crap the alloy ones are, and i simply just dont trust something that light holding my wheels on. Plus the 21mm socket hits the wheel centre and ill be pissed if i scratch them after a refurb!/>http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12x1-5-Wheel-EXTENDED-Steel-Lug-Nuts-NEO-CHROME-JDM-Open-End-20pcs-M12xP1-5-/251178051352?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item3a7b60e718Unsure about the colour on them aswell, i like it cause its different but i dunno whether itll look poo or not!Cheers!!

Jack-CTR Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Spacers get some.hibcentric then you havent got to worry about the studs being long enoughTuning Developments sell them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hubcentric or not itll still space the wheel out the same distance, i dont wana buy spacers Nd then find my wheel studs are too short to use them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 if your using open ended nuts, why dont you just longer studs for the piece of mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 You can buy hubcentric spacers with studs in them, your studs are used to bolt on the spacer and the studs on the spacer are used to bolt on the wheel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike@TD.co.uk Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hubcentrics fit with stock studs, and have additional studs in them.We stock 20mm & 25mm versions CheersMike JonesTuning Developments Ltd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Right i now understand, hubcentric to me usually just means the centrebore is the right size for the car lol!My problem is i dont think i can get away with a spacer of that size, as ill be running 7j low offset ats on the front.What do you guys think of them bolts, will they be shite quality?

dan106 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 if your using open ended nuts, why dont you just longer studs for the piece of mindDont you have to press the hub centre out? cant really afford to get both bearings doen as we havent got a press at work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I think you can do them on the car, i think theres a small notch out on the hub meaning the stud can be removed with it in situeThe other option, which SR's have standard is sleeved nuts which can be seen hereAbout 3/4's the way down the page with a little ET sign next to them/>http://www.mistertee.co.uk/6.html The thread goes down through the hole in the wheel Edited December 6, 2012 by morgey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Ahh, that might be handy, although i do really want some extended nuts really, think theyll look wicked with the ats', if i can change the studs without doing the bearings id rather do that, what studs would i need?

morgey Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 something along these lines should work dude, then you can get which ever nuts you like />http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-EXTENDED-WHEEL-SPLINE-HUB-STUDS-M12X1-5-62MM-/300505664338 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
