Extended studs with Aftermarket wheels and lugs

ClemsonWill · 01-07-2011, 11:05 AM

I have TE37s in the standard 370z offsets and closed ended Rays Duralumin extended lugs nuts. I switch the stock sport wheels and TEs a good bit. I'm wondering if I get extended lugs and spacers for the stock wheels, will the extended studs be too long for my Rays lug nuts (without spacers)? Or are there any other complications I should worry about.

Thanks
Will

im not sure wat you mean?

are you planning to swap back and forth between the TE's and stocks?

if they are the same offsets why not just use the spacers for both apps?

yes, Swapping back and forth between stock and TEs.

They are not the same size. TE's are 19x9.5 +22 19x10.5 +12.

Stock 19s are 19x9 +47 19x10 +30 (I think)

I want to use a 15 and 20 mm spacer with the stock wheels.

oh ok, i thought they were the same offsets.

anyway yah, i recommend you get deeper lugs for your TE's or open lugs in that case.

I had a similar issue and decided to keep spacers on just to make sure the lugs are properly tightened. But I am wondering if the stock lugs are deep enough.
