    I'd really like 10 extended wheel studs.

    I installed some front and rear spacers. Using stock wheels.

    I noticed in the notes that the manufacturer says that I may need to cut my factory studs down. Then another side not says make sure that I get at least 6 fill spins on the inner nuts / studs. I got over the 6 full spins.

    The rears look perfectly flush to the end of the inner lugs and studs. The fronts have about 1/4"+ on thread remaining on the inner nuts. (The factory studs look like they may need to be longer on the front. )

    I think that I should probably replace my factory wheel studs on my fronts.

    Would anyone be willing to help me out on what size I should look for? They should probably be about 1/4 - 1/2" longer than the factory front wheel studs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thread diameter. you want the number of threads engaged to match the diameter of the bolt(stud) you are attaching this too.

    (so if you are installing a 5/8-11unc nut to a stud you want at least 5 9threads engaged)

    google search
    Minimum number

    It is commonly known that the minimum recommended thread engagement to make a strong connection for a component with a tapped hole is approximately 1 times the nominal diameter in steel and 2 times the nominal diameter in aluminum. In many cases, (tapped hole in a softer material, special alloys, etc.)Mar 19, 2015
