will my studs be too long?

ggiwin · 07-27-2013, 09:46 PM

As of right now I am using h&r DRS 15 front/20 rear spacers that are stud replacement type. I am planning to get a set of te37 reps with the offsets +22 front, and +12 for the rear. My question is that since I am running extended studs, will the studs poke too far out? or will it be okay?

Tried searching the interweb for awhile but found no answer =(. I've considered the option of buying new oem studs and putting those in but I want to know if running extended studs is a viable option before I go and buy new OEM studs and paying to get them replaced.

you'll need open ended lug nuts but other then that you're fine. I took my spacers off on front (same one you have) and just use deep open ended lugs.

are there any specific ones I should get? 45? or 60?

Open Lugs

I was in the same as boat as you a few weeks ago, and didn't feel like changing the studs back out so just bought some of these.

You should be fine. It is not noticeable Leave your H&R studs on. More work and $$$ to get it off and re install OEM. I would not recommended re-using old studs either. It may be loose and may not sit in the way it used to. You can get open ended extended lugs. Open lugs on extended studs look great.

I've always liked the look too. I've just been too lazy to swap my rear studs to match lol but one day I will do it and use shorter open ended lugs.

open lugs are

for aftermarket wheels.
