Sold my Factory ls430 wheels
(WHEEL SIZE: 18x7.5
WHEEL OFFSET: 45
PATTERN:5-114.3
HUB SIZE:60.1
BACK SPACING:6.02

and picked up a set of Mercedes Benz Monoblock Replica Wheels that are18x8, ET 35 ,5x114.3 and have 70mm hub bore.

I have already installed the hub centirc rings and the issue is the front wheels do no clear my calipers and i have added wheel spacers to allow them to clear BUT now my wheel studs do not have enough for me to bolt the lug nuts on.

Question-is there a factory set of wheel studs that i can use vs buying extended wheel studs or buying a wheel spacer that has wheel studs already on it?

What are my options ?

Arp Wheel studs are pretty cheap iirc

Longer studs are the way to go...

Pics of wheels would help

But really arp lugstuds are the way to go

gonna back up the others, ARP studs are your best option. It should be like $100 or less I think.

Blast it with piss then buy longer studs forrest.

I purchased wheel adapters with the studs made in them. going to see how it works/fits and go from there

That will work fine if you can deal with a spacer that's thick enough for stud seats and flush nuts. I usually go for a wheel with a different offset before even considering anything of that kind of thickness.

Take your time putting them on. If they aren't centered just right you'll end up with some vibration at speed.

Hopefully a spacer of that type is hubcentric.



Let me rephrase that: Don't get a spacer like that unless it's hubcentric.
