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.

Go here, www.wheeladaptor.com I got mine from here, only thing is i drove my car there and they took my took my wheel off and took measurements. They then made them on the spot. The gave me life time warranty and told me that i could drive hard and abuse them all i want, because they will withstand them. Apparently they make them for drag cars dualy trucks. They said if i ever have a problem with them, just to take them back. I used my to convert from 5x100 to 5x114.3 wheels. It sat the wheel right at the fender perfectly. Hope this helps



Ps. the rims are not the ones in my profile. I will put them on when i paint my car.

What do you mean "convert to 5x114.3"? Is that a standard measurement on the hub for U.S. models? Could it be why the rotors that i ordered for the U.S. celica do not fit the JDM model because of the placements of the studs?

The celica comes with a 5x100 lug pattern. I bought wheels on ebay that i thought, and the seller thought were 5x100 but were actually 5x114.3 so i had to get the adaptors made in order for the wheels to fit my car.

A similar thing happend to me with brake discs, but the other way around. the lug pattern on my celica was 5x114.3 and i ordered discs from the U.S. with a pattern on 5x100. BTW, how do you measure the lug patterns?
