Longer wheelstuds?

Post by astraboy » 06 Sep 2006 02:17 pm

I've fitted 15" wheels and 195/50/15 tyres to my 340.
needed spacers though as the tyres were rubbing on the front suspension strut.
Now that I've got the spacers on theres not enough wheelstud to put the bolts back on! :lol:
Anyone know where i can get longer wheelstuds from? i've tried the search facility and couldnt find anything, so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers in advance,
astrboy.

try here

http://www.performancefx.net/wshome.htm

they usually supply the items as a kit (spacers and studs ) but may do them seperately

or here

Might be a bit late, but there are bolt-on Volvo 15" steels - spares from 400 series cars with 15" alloys. Might take a while finding a set of four though :lol:

I'm probably teaching granny to suck eggs here, but make sure you get uber-strong ones. There's a lot more strain put on the studs when you're running spacers. The US might be a good source, if you get stuck....they have a shop for this stuff on every corner, and failing that there's Summit Racing :lol:

cheers
