hi, I want to know if the stock s13 hub studs are to short to be used with 5mm spacers? Is using the stock studs safe, or should I go for some longer nismo hub studs?

5mm is fine
I ran 5mm spacers on stock studs w/ no problems .. btw, hard driving

yeah daily driven and track, I was recommened by a freind freind who did the z brakes also and was in the same dillema he said he got longer nismo ones, and I think it would be safer also. because theres not enouph thread, that makes me feel uneven Im going to get some longer nismo studs

but the question is now what size studs should I get?

NISMO Long Hub Bolt
Length 50mm
1 Bolt - Price $8.00

NISMO Long Hub Bolt
Length 60mm
1 Bolt - Price $8.00

which one would be the right size, should I just get the 60mm?

if nismo, get 60mm.
For some reason, 50mm are weaker. (in the experience of a few friends of mine)

should I get some for the rear while Im at it?

if you get the longer ones you may not be able to run the center caps on certain wheels. I would think that 10mm difference would be enough to keep some center caps from popping/screwing on correctly.
I had some 8mm spacers and there is no way there would have worked with the stock studs.
