Need4Speed Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Does anybody else who has fitted these rims think that the wheel studs should be longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need4Speed Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 I get 13 turns on the nuts which is the same as with the old Supra dome nuts, but do other people's look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a bit odd to me, but a thread engagement of 1.5 times the OD of the stud is plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I dont recall mine being like that, i will check tonight. Do you have toyota discs or aftermarket. Do the wheels sit flush on the disc face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Chris W. Exactly and if they were dome nuts I wouldn't have questioned further. Chris R. The discs are Toyota, the rims seat OK and the car runs fine. 13 turns is OK (I did 25000 miles on the old rims like that). Anybody like to post a photo of a rear rim centre for comparison.

Matt Harwood Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi John, I had Lexus wheels on my old auto, and yes the wheel nuts were a lousey fit. I did look at getting some longer studs, but never got around to it. whilst they are a poor fit, they never caused me a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need4Speed Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Thanks Matt - maybe the solution is to use the dome nuts then I wouldn't worry:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
