Just want to verify that a 50mil stud with a 10mil spacer will work with the F14s in the rear.

You didn't specifically say these words anywhere I saw.

Thanks!

With those wheels I use the 10mm spacer from Z1 here: CNC Aluminum Hub Centric Wheel Spacers 2.5, 5, 10, 15, & 20mm

Currently I have the Nismo "Long hub bolts" with 50mm front and 60mm rear (just to make it easier to thread the nut on). I'm about to switch ARP's extended studs next week (same length all around, whatever "25mm over stock" is, I'm sure it will work - I *think* they're even longer than the Nismo 60mm).

I can check on my car later today (I have a ton of spacers), with a 50mm stud and a 10mm spacer you are effectively making the length of the stud back to OEM so I'm not sure you'll have enough threads poking out of the wheel. It'll be close, and personally I'd rather have my back wheels a little sunken with tons of threads engaging than flying off at the track.

EDIT: On the back wheels there's more thread than I thought. With Z1 10mm spacer, Z1 50mm studs, and Gorilla lug nuts I was able to get about 8 rotations on each lug nut by hand. Also, if you want to buy any spacers I'll have these for sale (brand new never used Z1 hubcentric). That said, if these wheels are just for track I personally would rather not run any spacer unless I have to.

Hey ValidusVentus, I was just looking at the "top lap time track records" thread and saw you have the only time there at CMP. How long ago did you run that? I was down there a few months ago for an HPDE.
