Question about longer studs!

[xnissan240sx]

Hey guys, I am nearing the end of my build and like usual i save the looks of the car for last. Last week i picked up a sweet new set of rims and well long story short when i got home to put them on the can the studs are not long enough, the lug nut will only go about one and a half threads. Now to my question, I have herd a few people say that old pathfinders have longer studs that would work on my s13. I need them right away so that is the reason i am not ordering them. If no one can confirm this then i will have suffer with my old rims.

Thanks!

Just "suffer" until you can do it right (suffer? really? melodramatic much?). I'm not sure on the pathfinder side, but 240s have a number of different stud specs, some are even different front and rear. I'd be wary about getting the right ones. If you want to dig up some info, ARP might list the specs that are important, knurl size and length.

I find it odd that the studs are that much too short. Most wheels have a similar thickness to the lug nut seat so you should be able to get half a dozen turns at least. Are you sure everything is seated properly? You're not running a spacer are you? Is the wheel clearing the centerbore properly?

I will just wait till i get back from my comp, to get good new studs. And no I am not running spacers, just stock 4 lug studs nothing else. So I just need to get longer studs to make the wheels fit.

What wheels?

I tried the Pathfinder lugs and they were the same length, I heard the Quest lugs are longer too.....failed again.

Just a set of extended lug nuts from nismo, they are pretty good.

That's the answer I was looking for! Thank you very much!

Jegs sells extended studs in the correct knurl and length


On my personal car I have F body front studs and Mustang rear ones (s14)

So you are saying that you are using mustang studs because they are longer and will work on a s14. 5 or 4 lug

You need to know
1. knurl size
2. length

The application is beyond considertation. You need to know the lenght, the threead pitch, and the size.

Man, if only someone had mentioned that 9 posts ago...

I'm very happy with the ARP ones I got from SPL.

It's because they are longer/extended.

Again, search up 'knurl sizes' for your car and application, find the length you want, goto Jegs or Summitt and buy the ones you need then.

I don't know off the top of my head, google probably works.
