Extended lugs

[Th3importedguy]

I put 10mm spacers on my car. How long should I buy my lug bolts. 30mm or 40mm

Stock bolts are 26mm.

Will 40mm work fine?

[gotaloveRWD]

26+10=36 40 sounds like it should work just fine

Or just buy a stud kit. Bolts suck! :D

stud kits are better. if you have drum brakes in the rear you have between 6 and 8mm of room between the stock position and the point that a lug bolt will slam into the drum brake adjuster and cause your car to freeze in it's place.

Okay so I'll buy the stud kit. And I already have spacers but there. It Hubcentric. Does it make a difference of I buy Hubcentric spacers. My wheels aren't hub centric so would I need to out a hub centric ring on top of the hub centric spacer. Sorry lots of questions its a bit confusing

[glnr13]

yes, you should get hubcentric rings for your wheels if they are aftermarket. it's been debated for years, some say you need, some say no. I say yes, anything to help prevent wobbles i'm down for.

And put them on top of the spacers?

[glnr13]

the rings go into the back of the wheel

OHHH okay thanks

Hubcentric spacers only work if you're talking over 10mm thick. Any thinner and it not possible for the spacer to be "hubcentric" (think about the chamfer on the hub itself).
