Longer bolts for rims?

[abovethelaw]

Whats up every one I have a 93 camry and just recently purchased some 18 inch rims that are 18x8. Tried to install them and turns out that the bolts in the rear are too short and dont give enough thread to bolt the lug nuts all the way. Does anyone know any websites where I can order some longer bolts for a 93 camry? Thanks everyone.

Toyotas use 12 x 1.5 (metric)

I need some of those too. I have 626 rims on my car and my Camry lug nuts are at the end of the bolt fully tightened.

you both just need to goto the parts store and get longer wheel studs and beat the old ones out with a hammer

Holy shit Rodney dont tell them to beat the old ones out, thell never get the new ones in all the way and we will have wheels falling off everywhere , you guys go to a shop and have the new ones pulled in with the right equipment, you might need a lug nut with a collar made on it that goes most of the way down through the hole in the wheel to grab onto the stud. If the wheel is thick like you say, it probably takes these kind of lug nuts and the holes are a sloppy fit on the studs. If the wheels are that thick and there a snug fit on the stud, i wouldnt use em

well I did put them back in with a press, ????? It was snug and I havent had any trouble? I don't understand. Okay a shop will press them out too??

no biggie Rodney, I get people all the time that try to pull the stud back in by tightening the nut and it never works, I like your bike pics and the cute kitty Im gonna check out your car site, I added you to my aim list

I've used the hammer and impact wrench method.

1. Hammer the studs out.

2. Install the new studs.

3. Place washers over the stud, coat the stud with anti seize compound, then thread on a lugnut that you don't care about.

4. Use a impact wrench to pull the stud into the hub.

5. Install the wheel, go for a little test drive, then re-torque the lugnuts.

Thanks for the replies. I went to a toyota dealer "Bob Smith Toyota" and they had bolts that are the same size. So basically it will take them some time to custom order them. So if you guys got any more web sites, please post the links.

Thanks a lot everyone.
