Where can I get a set of .25" spacers and necessary longer studs?

 

Carter and I use Nissmo 60mm (part#4022-RS045) from performance nissan.Cost about $130 delivered for 20. Don't know of a source for .25" spacers.We had ours made by local machine shop...very expense.

 

some guy in the classifieds is selling a 4mm spacer. had multiple kits for sale.

dose a a 4mm spacer even need a stud replacement?

 

The guideline we use is to have a minimum of one diameter(12mm) of stud available for the lug nut. If you use stock wheels that's about where you will be with 4mm spacers.Suggest you measure to be sure.

 

Check some speed shops in your town, I know Wise speed shop here in St. Louis sells spacers for pretty cheap.

 

How exact does it have to be to .25"? H&R makes 5mm and eibach makes 10mm spacers (both of which include studs). I'm running both of these on my car. Bought from the good folks at Performance Nissan.

 

In BS the offset can't differ by more than +/- .25" from the stock offset.

 

I have a set of H&R 5mm spacers. They include a warning about differences in their studs vs. the OEM items. I should've taken their warning seriously.

My experience was I could've purchased my Nismo studs a couple of times over... by realizing the H&R studs are not an exact match (towing charges, tools, etc.). Notice the splining on the H&R studs begin immediately after the head. On the stock studs, the splines do not begin until a mm or two after the head. Effectively, the H&R studs only bite into the hub about half as much as the stock studs do.

Don't do what I did, pull those puppies out and replace them with the Nismo studs.

I've yet to break a Nismo stud, replaced far too many of the stock studs.

 

I don't know why I have to learn every lesson to be learned firsthand! But once I learn them, at least most of them stick.

Found some super cheap spacers at www.jegs.com. 50 bucks for a complete set of Baer spacers. They are listed in Standard sizes but they should fit.

 

Eibach also have spacer/stud kits in stock with the correct hub sizing, etc... and the correct knurl on the studs! H&R does have the wrong knurl, but it works in a pinch...

 

The Eibach 5mm spacers are only about $65.

 

H&Rs 5mm were just under $60

the baers are $23 with coupon and they come in 1/4" exact sizes

 

Do you have a link directly to those?

I don't have my wheels in yet, but I think I need to make up about 20mm to get the look I want. What would be the best, low cost, solution? Nismo Studs and a low cost spacer?

 

For 20mm I would probably go with a spacer that has the studs on them. but here is the link for the spacers I'm talking about http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId=58302

 

Looks like we have a couple of threads going back and forth on this.. BUt..

.25 Inches is 6.3mm.. From what I understand a 5mm Spacer only leaves your 2 turns left for your lugs.. 6.3 would probably knock that down to 1 turn.. right?

 

you should just be able to use .25 inch spacer and quarter inch acorn bulge lug nuts and be fine. you can get this from any wheel shop but i'd go hr with longer studs to be safe

 

Is Nismo the only game in town for Longer studs?
