Ichiba sells 40mm and 50mm longer wheels studs. According to a response from IchibaUSA, the 50mm studs are the ones included in the 10mm spacer kit. You can buy the studs individually so I ordered a spare of each size.
I just ordered a 10mm spacer kit for the rear and will add the 40mm studs to the front. IchibaUSA's website is a little fuzzy on the actual length of the 40mm studs, one sections says 40mm another says 35mm. Ordered the parts through one of the forum vendors b2autodesigns.com much cheaper than direct with IchibaUSA. I'll post details when they arrive. I like ARP stuff, but 3"(76mm) long studs are a bit longer than I want.

Anyway, the 40mm and 50mm lengths are the actual thread length and don't include the spline area under the head of the stud. For my setup it looks like the 40mm up front and 50mm (w/spacer) out back would have 3mm worth of stud sticking out from the short lugnuts I'm using. BTW, there was already some corrosion on a couple of the stock studs with the stock closed lug nuts.

Are you planning to run aftermarket brakes and having clearance issues? Just curious why one would run spacers on a track car.

I have spacers on the the front of my 65 Mustang race car. One does not have the luxury of the exact backspacing on these cars as there are out there for new cars. I have had different brake rotor setups, stock hubs with hats, one piece hubs/rotors, etc, etc. Kinda' expensive to get new wheels every time when you have 10 wheels for the car.
With proper studs, and proper torque there will be no problem. Some of my spacer are 1/8" thick, some are 1/2". You gotta do, what you gotta do.

I have been running 10mm hub centric spacers on my SpecE30 (came with my Kosei K1s from Tire Rack) for 3 years now including about 20 track weekends. I have had zero issues with them.

You can get some stud length info and issues I ran in to changing out the rear studs to install a 10mm spacer in this DYI post. It didn't go so well. I just updated the second attempt that involves removing the hub.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...5&postcount=30 I don't like the bolt on spacers, as aluminum is holding the additional studs in place, not a steel hub. The Ichiba studs are no good in my opinion. They don't have enough bite in to the hub. The Vorshlag studs work much better. http://www.vorshlag.com/index.php?cPath=66_271_274

Warning to All!
I installed the Ichiba V1 10mm spacer set (SU-50910) with Ichibia 50mm studs (SU-122550), and had to spend a day drilling two of the studs out because their knurl stripped in the hub slot. They stripped when I was torquing the lugs down with the lug wrench using moderate force. The first one slipped then caught, thinking it was just friction on wheel I proceed with the others and then another one slipped much more...leaving me in an "oh crap" moment. ICHIBA Extended Wheel Stud 50MM SUBARU http://www.ichibausa.com/ProductDeta...Code=SU-122550 Not only did I have to fight drilling them out, but I scratched my wheel a little, I trashed two studs/lugs, had to purchase replacements, and spent $30 on a set of Rigid Cobalt drill bits. Needless to say this experience has been frustrating, and left me questioning my obsession with always trying to improve my cars function/form (in all seriousness, I'm probably incurable). I recall reading the stock studs have a knurl diameter of 14.35mm. It's not clear what the knurl diameter of the Ichiba's are, but there's no way they are the 14.30 I've seen them advertised on vendor sites. So in my searching, it seems there are three choices of wheel studs for our cars. ARP http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/arp-...studs-979.html Vorshlag http://www.vorshlag.com/product_info...roducts_id=473 Eibach http://eibach.com/sites/devperforman..._bolt_list.pdf Anyone have experience with the Eibach studs? They have a good selection of lengths.

Just fitted some 20mm V1 Ichiba spacers, the included studs are 5mm too short! The fitment with spacer looks great so I don't want to go with a smaller spacer, looks like those Vorshlag are exactly the right length for me. Excellent.

Good choice NissanGuy. I went with the Vorshlag studs and their build quality and fitment are amazing. Highly recommended.

Just posting because this happened to me. The Ichiba 10mm studs stripped 3 of my stud holes on the hub.
Ichibas studs look nice, and are made of good metal but they ARE a smaller diameter than stock. I found this out the hard way after getting everything back on the wheel, and tightening the lugs when the stud started spinning. Luckily I was able to reseat the stock studs and put my stock wheels on. Do yourself a favor and order ARP extended studs |

Hi Guys,
I may need a thicker spacers up front, which will require me to replace stock studs. I can purchase it online, but searched if any local store carries any longer studs. Does anyone know of the stock stud length? I found this |
