Need longer studs to fit some wheels

I want to fit a particular wheel on the Evo and I found out with a longer stud I can use a spacer and get the wheel to fit without losing any stud length. Question is where can I find a longer stud for the car.

I called the dealer and they do not have an option from the factory. I want to know if there is an aftermarket company I can find them from or if I can get them from another car.

Please help!

The longer wheel studs that Road Race Engineering sells for the DSM's also work on the Evo.

I called and they have to check to see if they have any in stock. But the guy did mention I could get them from RalliArt. But of course there isn't a RalliArt USA. He mentioned I would have to call New Zealand. I can see $7 studs turning into $50!

Thanks for the mention. Very helpful. I will call him back tomorrow to see if (hopefully) he has them in stock.

call H&R. They have what you are looking for.

Yes, H&R

H&R makes studs that fit other Mitsubishis. They won't sell you just the studs, but you can buy a wheel spacer kit for Lancers, 3000GT's, etc and just chuck the spacers. I don't recommend it as you are going to pay for stuff you don't need, but if you're really desperate, it will work.

Why no vendors have studs for the Evo is beyond me.

So do I call HKS or a vendor? I have tried a couple of vendors and none of them had anything like what I was asking for.
