Email from ARP:

What I have for the Lexus is kit # -100-7715 = 2.600 under head length. I don’t have at 4.500 long. You can try calling 805-525-1497 and ask for our special order dept and see what they have.
Thanks

Glad nothing worse happened, I had to laugh at the girl smiling in the picture while you're stuck on the side of the road though.

H&R will not sell them directly, you have to find a local dealer for them .
I have 15 mm's i can;t remember if their 20mm is a whole hub with built in studs or a spacer plate and new studs like the 25mm ones.

if you want a 20mm spacer just get a bolt on, ichiba type 2 or H&R. Or splurge a bit and get some Project Kik's.

I don't own a LS, but I do plan on installing some ARP wheel studs into my SC. Looking at the studs themselves, they look to be long enough to handle 20mm spacers. I'm not sure how the studs actually fit but judging from pics on supraforums, it looks like the threaded portion is the real length you need to know. With that in mind, the threaded portion is 2" 3/16" which is long enough for 20mm (less than an inch).

Looks like it. From talking to Rhyi, I cant get the spacers w/ built in studs for my wheels, they are 9 bolt and cant fit them, I need new studs...

oh, your wheels don't have the indentations in back for the old studs? depending on your stud length and the type of spacer that MIGHT be a non-issue.

No indentations. Not gonna pay to find out what fits. I have an extra set of studs still from ichiba. Now I need to get a hold of H&R or ARP studs and compare how much shorter they really are

I continued to email the guy, we had a mixup.

I told him 5x114.3 he thought the 114.3 was the MM i needed. lol

So I measured the Ichiba.

2.6 inches in total length.
2.4 inches from below the head to the tip of the stud

Unsure of the Knurl.

He says I need 0.558

Is that gonna work? The lengths are equivalent. Just the Knurl is my issue

Okay. Imma install the ARP studs on friday. For now the car still seems like it vibrates on that side when im 65mph or more.

So I rotated the rear wheels, swapped out the spacers for new ones I had sitting in a box and didnt use an airgun to tighten the bolts.

When I go to work tonight lets see what shakes.

Oh and both Rear alxe boots are torn with grease all over the place...but I have been knowing about it for months now. Cars pretty damn low, thats expected...
