maurici Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 hi guys. To sort an arrangement of wheels with very low ET, and spacers... lets say that I could do with studs longer than the standart 63mm "extended ones" Given the amazingly wide cars I´ve seen, I´m sure someone has found this issue already... Where is the place to buy them? I can´t find anything over 63mm (ford escort/cortina) Thanks Maurici Quote
Terry Everall Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Wide wheeled cars often users with the correct wheel offset and backspace which means that long studs are not needed Quote
maurici Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 Assuming that my intention then, is to try to recicle a set of road wheels with too little backspace and that have to clear the bloddy wilwood 4 pots with hanbrake (by far the worst arrangement ive seen in my life for a set of brakes)... Can we stick to the topic of finding longer studs? Ive see that the escort group 4 had 100mm studs, and a shop sells them for £14 each... witch is way too much... 8 of them would be as expensive as the set of wheels i want to recicle... Any "non group 4 supidly expensive" option? Quote
corsechris Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 https://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=4357 About half the price, but very little information about sizes etc? or, https://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=4630 pair of 25mm pacers with studs for £17. Maybe too small for your needs though. Quote
maurici Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 The group 4 ones for 7.45 could be an option. Will ca them tomorrow to see if they can tell me something else about the arrangement. Many thanks as i did miss this ones!! Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 If this is for a sprint car then remember that the maximum thickness of wheel spacer permitted in the MSA regulations (J 5.8.2.) is 25mm. Quote
maurici Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 Spacer is 19, and is for a road set... thanks!! (I wouldnt be happy of playing with sitcky tyres on this arrangement) Quote
stephenh Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Demon Tweeks list quite a few lengths, but I must admit that if you need longer than the normal long sizes, they do get quite pricey. They are made from high tensile steel with rolled threads, so the prices start at £6.48 plus vat each in the Ford sizes. Quote

JulianE Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Speak to Mtec at Tamworth , they used to supply Revolution wheels with nuts , or possibly do still . Here's a link to their ebay page just give them a call they supplied studs for my Lancia and had about 5 sizes in stock ! Mtec Edited to add ... when I called and paid direct I asked for a discount as there was no ebay fees for them and I seem to remember getting one too Quote

Mtec I'm pretty sure that's where I got my hub centric spacers and extended studs from. 1 Quote
stephenh Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Maurici, in m y 2018 Demon Tweeks catalogue, they are on page 518, at the bottom of the page, under the heading of competition wheel studs. It even says at the very bottom of the page, in that section, that it is just a small selection, and call with requirements. That said, I've just tried to find them using the on line catalogue, I couldn't find them there. Might be worth a 'phone call? Quote
maurici Posted October 23, 2018 Author Posted October 23, 2018 Cheers mate! I normally bin the catalogue as soon as it arrives... if not i spend too much money when sat on the loo... 3 3 Quote
TableLeg Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I bought mine through their EBay shop. Mtec racing. Quote
