Wheel studs

<< < (2/4) > >>

AbyssDJ:
the studs are too short on defenders with wolf rims fitted - its fine. you just need to make sure they're tightened to about 120lb/ft. i would imagine they're just as fine on series landies... unless the studs are shorter than defenders of course.

hobbit:
You should really have the whole wheel nut threads on the stub, can cause problems if you get caught or on an mot if not

Options would be longer wheel studs
Shorter wheel nuts
or
Capped wheel nuts

Ola,
I was tought as an apprentice that a good rule of thumb is to have at least half the diameter of the thread sticking out the nut.

Do you have any friends who are engineers or have access to a lathe or a local engineering firm who could make you some to whatever length you require?
I dont know if they are hardened or not without checking mine but an engineering firm would be able to get that done if needed also(or you could do it yourself but the hardness would be a bit random)

Does anybody not make a boss or adaptor ring with holes for the original nuts and then 5 longer studs offset from the original holes that would fit the wolf wheels?This would however make the vehicle track a littel wider(i reckon about and1 1/2" either side)?

What thread are they do you know?

TBM:
On ebay there's a bloke selling reasonable cheap spacers. I imagine that he's using extended studs - he may be able to sell you set?

Bob Ajob:
You might be able to get some from Paddock Spares:
08454 584499 (UK local rate)

You will need to call as you can't see them online. You will also need to speak to someone who knows about them, or they will probably not know they do them.
