kk few quesitons/

im getting 3mm slipon spacers. and extended studs and new lug nuts all around.

first is any suggestions as to what wheel studs and lug nuts to go with. i found cheap lug nuts *20 for 11 bucks*
here

and i found 3mm spacers here

http://www.ezaccessory.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=600&CartID=2


the reason im going with spacers is because the mustang wheels and alot of aftermarket wheels need longer studs becuase the mounting surface is thicker. so im literally at the furthest out my studs will reach. *aka open ended lug nut face flush with wheel stud*

so i want 50mm studs. and open ended lug nuts. i just dont know what studs to go with. i dont wanna spend 60 bucks for 10 nismo studs. thats outrageous.

ichibas are 2.50 each so like... 2.50 x 20 = 50 bucks. not too bad. any other suggestions?
edit - ichiba wants 19 dolalrs to ship the things. so 70 bucks. =gay

with a 3mm spacer you dont need extended studs, 7mm or higher is when you do.. also a good rule of thumb, if you can get 3 or 4 full turns on the lug nut your good..

i really dont trust that.

and if i wanna slip on a wider spacer later down the line id like to be able to do that.

i REALLY want ARP studs but they dont make them in the nissan thread pitch.

i sendz them emailz maybe they will give me some :P

ichiba arent the best quality. no 240 love from arp in the way of stock thread pitch, you could get honda ones that fit our hubs and are 12x1.5 and then get lug nuts to match. done and doner. i love mine.

if you're already planning on new lug nuts then why are you worried about keeping the same 12x1.25 thread pitch? use ARP's and the more common 12x1.5 nuts.

That, and for being a 'hub centric spacer' the inside is pretty tore up and chaffed.

Well, what concerned me is that there was enough play for them to GET chaffed.

I have reason to believe that this is how the stud broke.
