Default 2nd gen. GS- longer wheel studs

I'm looking to upgrade my rear wheel offset:
Rear wheel size 19x9.5 w/ 38 offset, still have 6-8mm space to play with

Looking to purchase 5mm spacers, but....in order to put them on i'll need longer wheel studs, 10mm longer than stock one

Now , do you have any idea where i can buy good quality wheel studs 10mm longer than stock.

Thanks for input

Go to summitracing.com and type in keyword "wheel studs"

ARP makes them and a few others

Whats wrong with +38mm on your 9.5" wheels??? Isn't that about right???

are you trying yo use the stock wheel lug nuts on the new wheels. if you are thats probably the reason the studs is too short.

IMO...gorilla makes the best products for studs and lugs. I had a set of rims back in the day that I could only get about 2 full turns on and that was obviously not safe. Check the link below...they are lugs that conical seat...which will give you about 3-4 more turns...which may solve your stud shortage problem.

Gorilla also makes studs as well if you click on the "lug nut" link

Does that help????

That actually could help alot, since ARP wheel studs are around $35.00 for only 5 pieces and i need 10 of them, so there is another option

Thanks for an idea
