Need long lug nuts

[Brad Roberts]

Does anyone here really enjoy hanging a wheel/tire combo up there and trying to thread in a lug bolt?

No thanks.

Screw in studs with generic easy to find 911 lug nuts..

So so many people get this wrong..


I have seen PLENTY of cars come into the shop with 4 short lug bolts and 1 long... they switched the wheels tires/out and paid no attention that the long bolts went with the end of the car with the spacers on it... makes me puke..

Here is a side by side sample. This is the "track day stud" I use on track/street cars. I use another one with a longer bullet nose on it for GrandAm (makes it faster/easier to do the tire changes)

I am showing this customer the studs, letting him decide which one he wants.. I know what he will choose...

I agree that the spacer/stud set-up is very practical; especially when it involves larger spacers that are used in track applications . However, a well designed spacer that is Porsche specific (i.e hub centric) will have an extended collar that will act as the hub . This along with the appropriate length lug bolts will provide an excellent interface .

Yeah...I seemed to recall a centric slide to transitional fit for the hub and wheel on the spacer when I put them on. Fully torqued, I would imagine that the loading the lug bolts would be predominantly tension.
