Does anyone make wheel studs for the Evo that are 2 1/4" (55-60mm) in total length?

The stock evolution wheel studs are 1 7/8" (47.6mm) total length and I'm looking for a new wheel stud that will let me run a 15mm spacer and reuse the closed-end lug nuts on the stock wheels

Anyone know of a wheel stud that is ~60mm total length? Ichiba ones are the only ones I can find but they have an UNDERWHELMING lack of information about any of the dimensions

Quick search. Don't hate me if this is a bs site

 

Interesting! I sent them an email asking what they're made out of...

Can you cut the ARP studs and round off the heads to make them shorter? or is that not a viable solution?

well these are perfect, didn't expect they'd be more than a set of ARP though!

need to save for some...

thanks

 

damn, thats a lot for a set of studs. 3SX is a legit vendor if you want to go through them but you can always cut or grind the ARP ones to size. just make sure to put a good quality flat nut on the stud first so that you can take unscrew after you make your cut and fix the edges and in the process align the edges of a threads on its way out. practice on a some generic studs first.

 

What's the need for a longer stud on the factory wheels? Just curious. Unless your just looking for a wider stance.

 

HINT: ultimately these are on par with ARP price-wise, you need a good vendor here



spacers decrease the useful length of the stud from the OP I assume he's willing to have wider stance exactly

 

15mm spacer means 15mm longer stud =) i could go with 10mm longer because i know 5mm is about the effective limit on stock studs, but i'd rather have the stud the same length longer that i'm adding with the spacer

@vd I need a Racing Brakes vendor on here! i think those are ultimately what I'll go with as I would really like to use the stock closed-end lugs, the just look cleaner than the lexus open-ended ones (since i'm on stock wheels and all)

 

I broke the factory studs at an autox last year. So I replaced them with the ARP studs. I run stock wheels as well. So with the extra set of OEM lugs I had, I cut off the round cap off the lugs to make the factory lugs open ended. Then I painted the fresh lugs to prevent rust from developing. It was free, I know 100% Those lugs hold the wheel properly, and I can sleep well at night.
