Wills21 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 http://www.grp4fabrications.com/product_info.php?cPath=46&products_id=590 I got them in Icetronix because I needed them fast, they're 25mm longer than standard (whatever that is) Back studs I had to take the discs off to get the new studs in because they are too long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yeah I've removed some before. Cant remember why though, think i had some corolla gti ones which were about 12mm longer so fitted them so i didnt need the collared nutsM12 x 1.5 is the thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wills21 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 thanks for the link bud at least i can use them now,, did you use 10mm spacers on front aswell?? No just the rears mate, didn't need them on the front. Where did you get your spacers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 No fairly easy get the disc and caliper out the way. And its a case of rotating it to the place on the hub with clearance and smacking out each one and then reverse the process putting them back it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redliner Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 No just the rears mate, didn't need them on the front. Where did you get your spacers? oh i need them on the front, ah got them from barry`s motorsport cork, 40euro for the 4 of them, so the studs you gave me the link to they will do the trick yea?

I'm 90% sure, not 100% sure the spline count on the inside is the same though as I got different one's. Ring them to make sure maybe That was a good price for the spacers, I paid €30 for two lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redliner Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 ya il ring them an make sure, when u were buying the spacers did they say anything about needing longer wheel studs?? i was told noting about them not fitting,, bad form really i think when you have to find out for yourself,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
