Default Recommended stud length with 7mm spacers

I need to put 7mm spacers on my rear wheels in order to clear my brakes. I have Project Mu Extended Lugs as well. What's the recommended stud length for this setup and where/what should I buy?

Thanks - Jon

Spacer companies like Eibach provides longer studs with the purchase of the spacers. If all else false, buy some nismo studs like these:

I'm no genius, but I would measure an oem stud and add 7mm.

Thanks, but what size should I get? I'm guessing 60mm, but I'm not sure how long the OEM studs are. I'd prefer getting the longest possible just to be safe.

Yeah, too much work taking the rotor off and putting it back on just to take it off again later, lol.

I'm sure someone on here knows the length of the OEM rear studs.

You have extended lugs, get 60's. Then never worry about it again.

Stock is 30mm +1-

I would suggest the Nismo 50mm studs...the 60 mm studs require removing the hub to install them...something I did not want to do rigth now...50mm studs are plenty, I have about 10mm of extra threads after the lugnuts get torqued.

Wierd, i didn't have to pull the hub on my car for my 60's. Guess you know more about it if you have done these things.

Im looking to get extended studs also. im thinking about going with nismo 60mm's. Do you think i can run 15mm slip on spacers or even 20mm slip on spacers with just 50mm extended studs? Or should i just go with 60mm's?

The biggest space I would run would be a 10mm with the 50mm studs...so for you, I would at least get the 60mm

50mm studs are what come with 20mm spacers. I would still get the 60's.
