Sorry if this is a dumb question but I searched and couldn't find a solid answer. What is the length of the stock wheel studs for the s13? I recently picked up a 30mm bolt on wheel spacer and the stock studs sit about 5mm below the face of the spacer. I would like to find a wheel stud 5mm longer than stock so I can get full thread engagement when bolting down the spacer. I was looking at the Nismo extended wheel studs and they offer 50mm and 60mm. Here's my dilemma, is this measurement the length of the threads, or the length of the entire stud, etc.? If they are too long I will have to grind them down or they will sit to far out and wont be able to mount the wheels on the spacer , so I would rather get some the appropriate length if possible.

Thanks in advance,Wei

There should be recessed spaces between the bolt holes of your wheels like in this pic. This allows your studs to be longer than the spacers, if they don't have these, you should be concerned about running spacers with insufficient stud support.

thanks for the quick reply Rex. I'm running Advan sa3r's and they do have recessed spots for the studs. I wanna say that there is 5mm tolerance I have to play with before the stud hits the wheel. I'm gonna have to double check tomorrow. I just don't wanna order studs that are too long and still need to be cut to fit even with the recessed area in the wheels.

BTW, pretty sure the studs are sold as a total length. Try calling one of NICO's site sponsors and asking them to measure??

I think Infiniti Of Scottsdale, (888) 216-5328 carries the Nismo studs and can confirm the total length for you.
