What's up with people changing lug studs?

[2morrow]

Can you send pics? Do you have spacers?

And thanks. It's not my first rodeo. I've been racing cars for 15 years and have chosen quite a few wheel and tire packages.

Yes I absolutely will.

Yes I run a 25 mil spacer

I have 305/30/20 square with 20 x 11 ET 56, extended studs and a 25mm spacer. Pics for reference

Why would you need extended studs if you're running hub centric spacers? The hub centrics basically give you a new hub to bolt the wheel to.

If my knowledge is correct(it may not be), the spacer is needed to give the ET 52 wheel an effective offset of ET 27, or else it will touch the strut from being too tucked in. The studs are needed to give enough length to utilize the spacer and have enough stud for the lug nuts

This doesn't sound like the use of hubcentric spacers which have the spacer and stud built into them as one unit.

If you guys are using blank spacers and then extended studs with that, it was a waste. I had 25mm hubcentric spacers on my 16 GTPP and you just bolt the unit on, torque to spec, and then you bolt your wheel on.

I am using OPMUSTANG hub and wheel centric spacers, slip on because bolt on isn’t safe for hard usage.

Oh man. Well now I see why I have been seeing posts like this.

 

[Nickel]

Should've used these.

Yes!

Yes, this is correct if you buy the spacers and studs separately. I don't see why anyone would do that but to each their own.

Those spacers are not the same as hubcentric spacers.

know for a fact that a 4 year old tire on the track or in rain is shit.

New in the wrapper but 4 yrs old? Depends on compound. If you have more than 20 heat cycles on current year tires they are probably roached.

It really doesn’t matter. All objects are subject to oxidization. Yes, 20 heat cycles and any compound will be tired.

Yes I absolutely will.

Just so that we are clear, you will need Extended studs and slip on spacers.



Don’t hate, it’s an old video

Can I reach out to you on Instagram for direct messaging? @nickel_reed

Sorry to be a PITA, but I really got a few questions. Lol
