tires and wheels wheel lug question

[Lebowski]

Anyone know if I will need to use longer wheel studs like the ones Aardvarc and IE sell if I use an 8mm spacer? I'm looking at some wheels with an offset of 37, but I don't think I'll buy them if it wil require spending the money for longer wheel studs. Thanks in advance...

for 8mm spacer you definitely need longer studs to be safe.

when you put in longer wheel studs, they may be real long.

If so, your stock lug nuts may not fit.

A couple of options:

First, if you have the lug nuts with the removable ends, take those off and the the stud will pass through

Secondly, Jeff sells lug nuts that allow the studs to pass through.

Having some of these type lug nuts around make it easy to secure brake drums to the flange while adjusting brakes without the wheel and tire on.

Thanks guys for the replies. I think I'll pass on the wheels, the deal's not good enough to justify the expense of buying 14 new wheel studs and having them installed. I really appreciate the help!

Especially considering that after buying 14, you'd have to go back for 2 more!

pfffft!

I guess it was a long night at work last evening.... you guys don't have the "Euro spec 14 lug conversion"...

Thanks all.
