Thread: Wheel stud / spacer question

I am looking to space the rear wheels out on my b13 with a 15mm spacer in the rear. How long of an extended stud should I use, and what brand? i have heard good things about ARP studs. Any suggestions on where to buy them?

Any info is appreciated.

Did this go un-answered? You still need this info, let me know.

i was thinkinf of doin the same with my nx.... then i would put on some oldschool datsun ZG fende flares on....

i think 15 or 20 mm would be good

The factory studs are about 35mm I believe. If you go with a 15mm spacer you're going to want at least 15mm more of stud. That's 50mm and a common size I believe. 60mm is also common.

I would recommend any stud other than Nismo studs. Nismo studs are known to be complete shіt. They sheer all day long either while driving or while removing lug nuts.

Personally I love the ARP wheel studs and they can be found at Summit for a good price. H&R wheel spacers are probably fine too, as are other brands.

Need more info on ARP studs (and why Nismo sucks): http://www.sr20-forum.com/suspension/13333-arp-extended-studs.html

Need more info on sizes and a comparison of studs (more on why Nismo sucks and what other options there are): http://www.sr20-forum.com/suspension/10256-b13-wheel-stud-knurl-diameter-size-dimension.html

he went with a 15mm spacer rear IIRC with the WRX ARP studs.

What is the problem with the nismo studs? I am just wondering, as i have had the long ones for at least 4 yrs on my nx with spacers and no problems. I have daily drove my car and tracked my car and have driven it to speeds of well over 150mph. What are you guys torqueing your lugnuts to?

insane imports, the best I can do to answer you question is to direct you to a discussion Andreas Miko and I had about them. Just start reading here: http://www.sr20-forum.com/suspension/13333-arp-extended-studs-3.html#post178902
