I wanted to make this write up for people who need to use a spacer
on aftermarket rims that need to swap out factory studs because of
the thickness of the spacers needed to clear frame and leaf springs..
Some of you saw out in Carlisle Pa that I have 19x12s on my Syclone
this past weekend. I needed at least a 1/4" spacer to clear the springs.
I didn't have time to smash out 20 studs hoping that I wouldn't run into
any issues. So I tried a set of Weld Racing style Lugs. No Go, to thick.
Then I happened to stumble across a set of 60° Shank Style Lugs..
They use the same Idea as Weld Lug Nuts, with a thinner shoulder..
I only needed about an extra 1/2" or so on my studs.. So I bought
21138ETLX http://www.gorilla-auto.com/small-diameter-lug-nuts
The 21138ETLX Lugs from Gorilla give you an extra 1/2" of Stud
Grip http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gor-21133etxl/overview/
(Under $40 instead of about $100 in just Studs + your time/labor)
If this write up helps even 1 person I would be happy with that..
Thanx,
Rob
