5mm Spacers Longer Studs Needed? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

F1fletch · 05-12-2014, 02:37 PM

I see a couple vendors sell these and most if not all seem to come with new longer studs. Are they really needed for only 5mm?

The stock studs are barely long enough without spacers, I think most people find 3mm safe but anything more you should get longer studs.

I'll sell you my extended studs

I take it you didn't use them. Why not?

I tried 5mm spacers on and it was dodgy. Rules over here state you need 6 rotations of the nut on the stud. I barely got three. Not good.

Yes you will need extended studs for 5mm spacer. I've got the 50mm Nismo studs and they're just the right length....long enough to have full lug nut engagement, but not too long to stick out like a sore thumb.

Why not get the bolt on ones?

I'll say it again, mine are H&R brand and you can have them for $20 shipped.
