Hey, i am doing a five lug conversion and skyline brake swap on my '92 240sx and i am looking for longer rear wheel studs. i am looking for either a 45mm or a 50mm stud but a 60mm would work also. The only kind that i have found that match what i need are the nismo studs for $6 a piece, and thats a little more money than i wanted to pay for a stud.

So if anybody knows where i can get some, please let me know. or if anybody has some they are trying to get rid of i'll take'em. if you don't want to post on this but you have info, my email is [email protected]

Thanks,-Eric

Our sponsors have a better deal on the NISMO 60mm ones than that.

Don't use anything less.

are you planning to use some plate spacers along with your brake swap? im just making sure because if you arent there is no reason to spend any money on studs.

if your using 1/4'' spacer then go with the 50mm studs. I had to use 60mm since my rims required 1/2'' spacers.

I am planning on using about a 5mm spacer, maybe more but not as much as a 1/2.

I have heard that if you use 5mm spacers its a good idea to get longer studs. is it ok to run a 5 with the stock studs?

Thanks for all the help,-Eric

Depends on the rims. 5mm will be close but shouldn't necessitate longer studs.

The wheels are the gts R32 wheels off of the skyline (16x6.5 offset 40)

I called Everything nissan about 5 minutes ago and they said that the nismo studs won't work in the 300zx hub(which is what i am using.) Is that right?
