s13 stock hub studs to short for 5mm spacers?

[jorge]

hi, I want to know if the stock s13 hub studs are to short to be used with 5mm spacers? Is using the stock studs safe, or should I go for some longer nismo hub studs?

5mm is fine
I ran 5mm spacers on stock studs w/ no problems .. btw, hard driving :)

yeah daily driven and track, I was recommened by a freind freind who did the z brakes also and was in the same dillema he said he got longer nismo ones, and I think it would be safer also. because theres not enouph thread, that makes me feel uneven Im going to get some longer nismo studs

[jorge]

but the question is now what size studs should I get?

NISMO Long Hub Bolt
Length 50mm
1 Bolt - Price $8.00

NISMO Long Hub Bolt
Length 60mm
1 Bolt - Price $8.00

which one would be the right size, should I just get the 60mm?

[mrmephistopheles]

if nismo, get 60mm.
For some reason, 50mm are weaker. (in the experience of a few friends of mine)

thanks man really apretiate your help

[jorge]

should I get some for the rear while Im at it?

if you get the longer ones you may not be able to run the center caps on certain wheels. I would think that 10mm difference would be enough to keep some center caps from popping/screwing on correctly.
I had some 8mm spacers and there is no way there would have worked with the stock studs.
