So I was driving today and somehow all my drivers side rear studs broke of on the highway at 70mph... Luckly the wheel didnt fall off and the rotor kept pressure on it... So now I need new studs I have apr extended studs upfront. So I want the nismo extended ones up front but don't know which ones I should get I may run a 10mm spacer out back may not. At least a 5mm though. So what do you think is good without having to change to open ended lug nuts and still having the correct amount of lugnut of the stud

 

Just get more ARP studs, much better quality

 

ARP would be my first choice. I got a great deal from THMotorsports (a vendor here and actually located in IL) not too long ago, so hit them up.

If not, I'd go for more thread engagement with 60mm.

 

I have to mention i got my last couple sets from THM too, great people.

 

Plenty of options here that come with extended studs. I just got the Ichiba 5mm spacers, which come with 55mm extended studs. Stock length is 43mm.

over torqued lug nuts probably, did you use an air gun to put them on?


+1 stick to ARP. and the extended closed lug nuts from Rays (however they are a little weaker if you do repeated on/off, and will start to fade with alot of heat)

 

arp, open ended lugs. i put a little pb blaster corrosion stop on the studs every time i take the wheels off. guarantees there will be no rust.

 

I have a bunch of the NISMO studs - new or used - for sale if you're interested.

 

I only use ARP on my car. My car puts A LOT of load on the studs/hubs compared to pretty much any other car on here. Never had a stud failure that wasn't my fault.
