    Help with stud length

    I'm looking to run 15mm spacers on all four corners and I need to know an appropriate stud length to run my wheels with. I'm running 2 piece style 5's and I want the center caps to fit but also have enough stud to safely grab the lug nut.

    I have a stud conversion already, but I'm not sure of the thread depth of the hub, so I have no idea how long they are. I currently have 10mm spacers up front and the lug nuts are barely grabbing the stud... kinda sketchy. The rear lug nuts are fine with no spacers. I figure I could just add 15 mm to the stud length I already have, but again, no idea how long they are. Anyways, could anyone help a brother out? Need to order these ASAP. Thanks in advance.

    Edit: with my current studs, there's approximately 36mm of stud sticking out of the hub

    From Motorsport Hardware's website:

    Motorsport Hardware - Wheel Stud Kits

    44mm studs will fit up to a 5mm spacer -57mm studs will fit up to a 12mm spacer
    80mm studs will fit up to a 20mm spacer
    75mm Bullet nose studs will fit up to a 12mm spacer -90mm Bullet nose studs will fit up to a 20mm spacer
    Hope that helps!

    Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.

      Thanks, called up motorsport hardware and got the 80mm kit... hope my centercaps still fit. Guess I could grind them down if not

        80mm should be perfect with the spacers, caps will fit no problem.
