In that pic, you have 18x10 +22 on all four corners, without spacers? I've been looking for a universal square 18x10 setup to put on my car someday where I can rotate freely between all corners (and buy a 5th as a ready-to-go spare), looks like a good offset choice :)

Yup thats correct. I think this is a perfect setup, all you need is 20mm spacers in the rear and you can rotate freely as I plan to do. I want to drift till the rears are gone then swap the fronts to the rears and throw a new pair up front, then repeat.

nice updates man, glad you're sticking with it

Just got these Powered By Max tie rod spacers in the mail. These should help increase my steering angle. Yes they are dangerous since they remove some of the threads that hold the tie rod to the steering rack but lots of people use them fine without problems by using thread lock. Also got a magnetic oil plug since it was perty.

Finally made time to put these studs/spacers on. I tried before but found out that I cant just slide these in because they are too long, an extra 25mm over stock which is like double the size of the oem ones. Ended up putting it back together for when I had more time to pull the hub. Pulling the hub was not an easy task. Required getting to the 4 bolts behind the knuckle, which meant pulling out the axles, then getting my breaker bar in there meant dropping the camber and traction arms, which meant dropping the ladder support. This is what my car looked like after all this:

Now came the next problem, studs werent going in as easy as I thought they would. After closer inspection, I noticed the knurls did not look the same.

I counted them and saw that arp had 45 and oem had 35. I wrote Justin at Z1 and he said that he has installed these same WRX ARP studs on many Z's, you just have to press them in. He said the knurls arent as important so much as the diameter. Not having much choice since I need my car for a road trip a few days later I rented a press from autozone.

Here they are back on the car. Now to bolt everything back up and torque to specs with my new torque wrench I got for Christmas.

Rear is now as flush as the front :)

looking good brother :tup: good luck on the drift comp

Nice install, I had to do the same for my extended studs! Looking good bud!

Same here had to do mine the same.

Looks great. Who did your door handles?

Looking back on the pics, looks like you have a nice spot to do some wrenching. Keep at it man!

I've only used Nismo's extended studs, which I suspect have the correct knurling or whatever it's called, but in any case what I've been doing to install them is:

1) Set the stud lightly in place
2) Stack a few inches worth of large washers over the stud to cover most of the length
3) Put a nut on the end (same thread as your lugnuts, but just buy a few cheap ones at a hardware store to bang on)
4) Tighten the nut with an air wrench, and it will suck the stud fully seated as it tightens.
5) Remove nut + washers (duh).

I did, just ordered them from thezstore.com. Just clean the handle, remove paper from 3m and stick on! They hold on extremely tight.

Thanks! Yeah my back yard is big but I am jealous of those with a garage :( One day...

I think most do it this way but since they werent sitting in right I didnt want to risk them stripping the hubs.

Thanks simota. BTW guys, my wife got me this for my birthday. Here come the videos :happydance:
