Hi,

i am running coilovers and have 5 mm wheel spacers for the front otherwise they rub coils..

can someone let me know of the right place to get some longer wheel studs.

I have heard of Nismo studs but are there a cheaper good alternative. there was a rally supplies company i saw supplying them a while back somone mentioned on here but cant remember.

Cheers,

Tom - forgot to ask you on emails earlier, do you reckon you need longer studs for 5mm spacers?

I'm looking to get some 5mm spacers for the rears and was just gonna use current OEM studs and whip the wheel on as it is...

just ordered a set of subaru 63mm length studs from rally design, after James (Lupix) kindly informed me the stock stud dimensions.

this will hopefully save myself a pretty penny at only £14 for a set of ten longer studs compared with overpriced nismo prices and i have read that nismo arent that strong either. These studs are designed for rally cars so they should be strong enough for my fast road and occasional track use....

What are the dimensions for a standard stud? Are they the same spline diameter front and rear, or does it differ between front and back like S14's do?

Job done, they work a treat and are lots longer than stock...

rally design is where i bought em and there designed for a Subaru impreza. £15 delivered for 10 studs- this makes big savings over nismo and they must be stong as there meant for rallying....
