7.5 mm spacer with 5 full lug turns...YEAY or NEY - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

gotta240 · 11-03-2006, 06:22 PM

Just as stated. Running 7 to 7.5 mm spacer up front. I get about 5 full rotations of the lug nuts before they get tight....

Is this ok and safe, or should i buy extended studs?

If extended studs, who/where do you guys recomend...or are they all the same?

if you get 5 full turns it is okay. but i have never heard of anything over 5 turns on anything thing bigger than 5 mm

dct223 · 11-03-2006, 08:21 PM

damn 7mm i think is pushing it on stock studs... i run 5mm's and its boarder line ok.

get longer studs, better safe than sorry.... ie keep stripping studs, or worse wheel flies off on freeway.

yeah, i was surprised to get a 5 or even 6 FULL turns from the studs too.

BUT YES, i don't like borderline and i think i'll be getting extended.

ANY BRANDS recomended or places to buy from? Is generic ok or does brand/top dollar matter here?

Generic will work if you wanna save money. Somebody in here posted up cross reference longer studs from Jegs iirc.

That's a good writeup, but not the question he is asking.

I think it's width of stud for proper turns.

I haven't gone that far out...if I needed too I'd just order the longest studs and call it a day.
