extended wheel studs - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Does anyone know a place in Southern California or any online shop that sells extended wheel studs for camry's? It's freakin hell to find extended studs with the correct knurl size for camry. All the extended wheel studs are mostly for hondas and acuras. Right now on my rear wheels I got the longest studs my local toyota dealership could find and they are still short by about 0.25" and this is because I'm using 0.50" spacers on the back wheels. The front wheels I don't have to use spacers so the studs that my local toyota dealer found are perfect. Now I just need a set of 10 2.50" or 3" studs for the rear wheels. I also went to Just Tires and they didn't have any longer studs. So if anyone knows an online shop that sells extended studs that will fit a 1993 camry, please let me know.

Thanks all.

get the right wheels

the right wheels? they are defenitly not the wrong wheels. They were actually recommended for a camry. The problem is they are 18x8" and since they are wider the rear tires rub against the struts so thats why I'm using 0.25" spacers on the back. Yea I know I can get rims that are 18x7.5" but they don't make lexani krystals in 18x7.5 so I'd rather get extended wheel studs for the rear. The fronts are perfect since I didn't need to use spacers.

Do these spacers come with their own studs? Do you know how long they are? I need studs at least 2.50" in length.

Thanks.

I would go on ebay and look for them,
I am sure that they sell it.

if not, search this forum. It was covered about 6 months ago.

how much do you need to space them out i know a place that makes custom adapters(any thickness,any lug pattern, hub centric to your hubs and to the rims) it comes with it's own studs...but if u don't need to extend it out that much then it's probbly not worth it

McGard makes longer wheelstuds, ask for a Toyota application at any auto parts store that carries McGard.

anybody that says that they are the right wheels for the car, they just need spacers and longer studs is in the wrong profession, the only right wheels for the car are the ones that came on it, if those wheels were right for the car they would have came with the car. any time you modify a car from factory the outcome is your baby

I checked around on ebay and saw a few people selling extended studs from ARP but I emailed all of them and they said they dont have ones for a camry. The thread pitch is the same but the knurl wont fit my camry. I'm currently waiting for a sample stud from some online store from UK, they claim to have a 2.50" studs that will fit camry's. Hopefully its true.

I only need to space out a few mm's on the back for the rims not to rub against the struts. But I would rather be safe and have those 0.25" spacers on so the rim doesn't hit the strut if I run over a bump or a hole...

OK...There is another website that is supposibly selling extended wheel studs for US toyota applications...they are located in UK...I emailed them to see whats the longest studs they have for camry and still waiting for their reply. Once I get a reply I'll post their link.

P.S. thanks for the link SmokingTiresV6

abovethelaw · 09-07-2005, 06:20 PM

what a freakin nightmare...the website that supposibly sells extended studs for toyota's never replies to emails...I found 2 other people from UK that sell extended studs for toyota's and they were kind enough to send a sample each...its been 2 weeks now and niether one of the samples came...WTF!!!!!! well if anyone knows a shop in Southern Cali that sells studs, let me know...thanks all

I see you are unable to by proper spacers (ie the ones with new studs mounted in them) cause 1/4" to 1/2" thick spacers won't cover the existing studs.
You should go with the thinnest spacer you can fit. I hav 1/8" clearance between my tire and strut (or had before I changed to coilovers) and that was more than enough.

I wish you luck finder longer studs, and hope that your wheels don't fall off.
