Stock wheel stud lenght?

[Dano]

Wat is the stock wheel stud length? i have 95 base model if that makes a diff. which i highly doubt.

Just trying to figure out how long of studs i need to get to run a 10mm spacer. Projectsilvia offers these: in both 50mm and 60mm versions.

I don't have the factory spec on stud length but if you are adding a 10mm spacer, just measure the studs on the car and add 10mm to keep the same amount of thread. That's assuming you are using the correct wheels with the same amount of thread exposed as with the stock wheels. If not check with the wheel maker for the correct length. Make darn sure the spacer is machined to be hub centric in the back of the wheel and also on the hub or you are going to have major problems. This type of setup is by no means ideal. That's why I always tell people to get the correct offset wheel for the car and avoid spacers. If in doubt on the hardware, have a local shop do the setup for you where they have access to the wheel, hardware, and car. Don't cut corners when it comes to safety.

this setup is the last thing i wanted to do, but due to tight finances, i couldnt afford buying a set of wheels new+tires+m/b+shipping, and a buddy reallly hooked me up. and now all i want is for my Z calipers to clear.

do u have any names of makers of Hubcentric spacers?

The best way to track down the correct hardware is to contact the wheel maker or a vendor that sells that brand and see what they suggest. If the wheel has centering rings the mounting surface in the back of the wheel can vary in depth, taper, or diameter. Any spacer would have to fit exactly into the back of the wheel without any 'slop'. If it doesn't you are going to have problems with vibration. Most aftermarket wheels are not designed to directly accept a hub centric spacer. You may very well have to have one made at a machine shop. OEM wheels will have a fixed bore in the back of the wheel and are easier to fit. H&R makes a line of spacers that fit OEM wheel center bores. I would not use these on aftermarket wheels with center rings. We don't sell these because of all the issues involved with trying to do it safely over the phone. It's best to do this through a local shop where they can test fit everything for you.
