New wheels but questions about wheel studs


Recommended Posts

Got my new titan wheels on finally and i pretty much fell in love with it again lol, but i have a question i was reading on here that i had to use 1/4 inch spacers in the front to make them work so i put them on there but now the stud only goes about half way through the lug nut? Surly Im not the only one this has happen to, what are yall guys doing to fix this putting longer studs if so whats the size on them or Wat r they off of?

i just ran into this problem as well (trying to swap in some aftermarket wheels)

 

and this is the info i wrote down in regards to the 'stock' bolt dimensions:

 

m12-1.25, knurl 12.83, length 41.5mm, shoulder 14mm

 

for me i need about 10-15 more mm's, so maybe a total length of 50-55mm studs.

 

also, what lug nuts are you using? im using open ended acorns.... those would help in case the studs you get are too long, that way the nut doesnt bottom out on

the stud before it can meet the wheel's surface.

Thats Wat i kinda did today but the people at oriellys r a bunch of dumb shits so tomorrow ill prolly go to car quest they usually take care of me pretty good but Im just using the stock acorn lug nuts right now they r perfect for the rear but with the spaced in the front there just to short

maybe a tire store might have longer studs? i would try to find a bolt store, theyll have more selection.

also, my stock open end acorns were too thick (21mm OD) i went to discount tire and bought 24 open

end bulge acorns (19mm od) for rougly a dollar a piece.

yeah id rather have a set of wheels that fits under the fenders for once, theres just not enough positive offset (never thought id say that!)

i feel like my volks stick out more though, you can have em, theyre for sale

When you get the studs, note the part number on the bag for us :P

 

Discount tire or Butler Tire (If you have one local) would be a good place to check. Beware, Butler will try to sell you a set of hideous rims to go on it and likely has an ugly yellow Lambo out front.

I know, this is somewhat off-topic.... But, what are your tire dimensions...?

I have some titans I wanna throw on my 720 soon, two of them bored out for the front... But I haven't bought any tires yet, and yours seem just about right. They are 18x8, right..?

alright so i just removed a stud from the front and the rear and ill confirm that theyre the same size,

in case anyone was curious/wondering at all.

 

 

MY bolt dimensions:

overall length: 44mm

head: 5mm

underhead length: 38mm

knurl length: 7mm

total shoulder length: 14mm

total threaded portion length: 22mm

 

hub thickness:

-front approx 6.5mm

-rear approx 8mm

(seems the rear hub is thicker than the front? according to my measurements..)

drum thickness: approx 6.5mm

 

length of bolt from hub to bolt end: approx 29mm front & rear

length of bolt from drum to bolt end: approx 20-23mm.... im having a problem understanding my notes on this

 

so by using all that, AND trying to stay as close to stock knurl thread diameter of 12.83 (or larger but NOT smaller)

i dont think there is a 'stock' dorman type bolt we can use

http://www.dormanproducts.com/catalog/hardware2006/161-166_Sec10_Part6.pdf

EVEN if you were to consider using a 1.5 instead of 1.25 pitch.

dorman PN 610-409 was close but the shoulder would be TOO long (29mm, vs 14mm)

your lugnuts would reach the end of the threaded portion before they could even start to apply torque to the wheels.

 

so its lookin like the ARPs are the best bet.

considering price & size i think the 100-7708 are best

dimensions:

12mm x 1.50

knurl diameter: .509in (12.92mm)

knurl length: .315in (8mm)

underhead length: 2.5in (63.5mm)

 

price is around $15 each, plus shipping. thats most likely the route im going to go.

actually, by doing a general wheel stud search for an m12 bolt, with a knurl diameter of .505" (12.83mm)

i stumbled across 2 options. 1.5" long (stock) and 2.5" long.

http://www.summitrac...parts/MSR-8255/

$22 for a set of 10! they are 1.5 pitch instead of 1.25 but i think in the end theyll be less expensive than

the ARPs!

 

^, knurl length is 3/8in (9.52mm)

 

ill probably get them on ebay:

So if that list of applicable cars is correct and the 510 is the same as 620s, then you can pick up extended wheels studs from Futo Fab. I want to say they are 60mm long but you'd have to check.

 

i have to say that the list is somewhat misleading. it states models and years, but doesnt specify front or back.

240sx' for example: s13s i think have the same (12.83 knurl) wheels studs all around, where the s14 has the 12.83 knurl diameter in the rear but a larger one up front.

 

i just checked out futo fab's z/510 studs:

m12x1.25

60mm (2.36")

knurl dia. 12.75mm

and states that they can be used in place of 12.90mm knurl studs.

$3 a piece

 

i wish i could find something concrete from datsun that states exact/original dimensions.

because for now im just assuming dorman specs are correct. and idk how critical that diameter has to be,

as in if using something thats .08 smaller really makes a difference...

i dont wanna be the tester :(

im sure theyll all fit fine, i think the problem comes further on down the line when vibration/wear sets in and either the hub's hole wears out (enlarges) or more likely in this case the knurl wears out and is able to work itself out of the hub

 

here's another thread, from ozdat. looks like quite a few guys are running studs from 'nice products.'

which are application specific. they make both regular and long studs.

their long studs (pn NS4570) are

m12x1.25

knurl dia 12.9mm

shoulder length 14mm

length 73mm

 

im not suggesting to buy studs from australia, im using them as another reference for knurl diameter.
