I did search this but couldn't find an answer to my particular question.

From what I could find stock studs are between 40-42mm long. Basically does anyone run 60mm Nismo studs with 20mm slip on spacers? I have some Ichiba 20mm spacers and am not particularly happy with the quality of the studs themselves (I actually had two lug nuts seize to the studs and had to break them off). I didn't measure them before I put them on, but they are ~20mm bigger then the OEM ones.

It would be a lot more cost efficient to buy some Nismo 60mm studs then to rip off these spacers and buy stock studs, then 20mm bolt on spacers.

Again, my question in the short version is: Can I safely run 20mm slip on spacers with 60mm Nismo studs?

Thank you.

ive never heard anything bad about them.

were the ichiba studs zinc coated? what lugs were you using?

They were the silver ones, so I'd assume the zink coated ones. The lug nuts were OEM ones. The spacer itself is very nice, the studs just aren't very good at all. Kics spacers are seriously 1000 times better then any other kind of spacer I've used so far, I'm not skimping on spacers next time.

Is there any OEM studs that are longer (but same bolt pattern and diameter) from a different model car you could use? It may be cheaper than Nismo Studs and easier to get as a single, just in case another siezes.
