Longer studs Options

[TomPoz]

I have an issue - in order to put beautiful Volk Racing rims I need spacers - 10-15mm.
In such case I also would need to change studs to longer ones.
I called one company producing spacers and studs and they said - no problem, we can
do it for you but reconsider longer studs as this is quite dangerous to put them on.
They rather recommended spacers with studs in them but they come only from 23 mm
thickness up, which is too much for me.

Anyone has experience with longer studs? I will drive with these wheels fast and hard
so need to be sure that everything is perfectly safe.

longer studds with a spacer is the way to go....we use longer bolts + spacers on our VWs ALL the time

they way your looking is i have a longer stud so the force farther out creates more torque and breaks a stud...BUT your neglecting to CHANGE your surface area distance...a proper spacer should slide over the new longer studs "snuggly" and shouldn't have play..this makes the area of torque measured the outter surface of your spacer..because through the hub and spacer the stud is reinforced and fine...your only worring about the length of the stud out side the spacer...just order correctly sized studs that will match the spacer and lug nut and you will be fine
