Enkei Wheels stud question

[93YotaRollawv]

A buddy of mine went to swap wheels on my car today from the stockers to a set of enkei wheels but he said he couldnt do it because the studs were to short is this a common problem and if it is were would i gather longer studs thanks in advace for any replys

you need longer lug nuts (aftermarket) or a socket wrench that has thin walls for aftermarket wheels. At checkers, this wrench is actually labeled as "aftermarket wheels wrench" or something like that.

I would suggest buying 4 sets of 4 (16 total) of wheel lock lug nuts. (thieves > aftermarket rims) These wheel locks should give you enough depth to reach your corolla's studs.

the studs are shorter not the nuts!


93YotaRollawv... try looking for longer studs from the Hilux or other toyota trucks. a friend of mine bought some nissan longer studs on ebay. look there too.

^from how he described it, I assume it's the same thing that i encountered with aftermarket rims. When I put my aftermarket rims on, the studs are too short, so i ended up buying "aftermarket rims" socket wrench (with thin walls) so I could fit the stock lug nuts on all the way to the back. It would've been fine like that, but I decided to buy aftermarket lug nuts anyways so it looks nicer. Whichever way, both works.
