You can buy all sorts of studs dif lengths at auto parts stores. Just find the right pitch and the length you want, and you're set.

If you want to get snitty, thats your problem. If you don't have the ABILITY or IQ to order a wheel stud by Thread size, grip length and stud length YOU HAVE NO FR@$%!@% BUSINESS MESSING WITH IT.

Next you will be on here asking how to install them because you aren't bright enough to figure out how to read the FSM.

O_C, try to give a bit more info next time. It'll make it easier for someone to help you out. Plus, it might keep banzai from biting your head off.

If you want/desire a detailed answer, I would recommend asking a detailed question giving as many specifics as you know. WTF should I spend my time searching/writing an answer to the question that you didn't put any input/thought/EFFORT into to?

There is a lot of valuable info from members on here. We get tired of having to do your legwork in order to answer your question.

This is a good thread on the subject. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=127378

The bolt is 12mm x 1.50 x however long you need.

It seemed like a pretty straightforward question to me. I don't get all the attitude thrown around over here.

Cheers

Re: does any1 make longer wheel studs?

Short Question:
Originally posted by OC_

Short Answer: Yes

Now, take the time to format a question with all the pertinant details:

Q: i got some new wheels and the hub is 30mm thicker than the OEM hub. The increased hub depth prevents proper lug nut thread engagement. Where can I find studs 30mm longer than stock?

Answer:
Make Model Year Thread Pitch Hex Size Length
MAZDA RX7 85-95 12x1.5 21mm 52mm (~2.1")
MAZDA MIATA 90-99 12x1.5 21mm

They are available here:

http://www.bsiracing.com/miata-specials.asp
http://www.inlinefour.com/zspeedexwhee.html
http://www.mackinindustries.com/wstuds.html
http://solar.innercite.com/comptech/421064.html 2.5" Long
It all boils down to: The answer to your question will be as detailed as your question is.

If you provide better input, you get a better answer, Is not ATTITUDE at all, its me taking my time to help you out
John
