Spacers for Prostars

i think the 3.5 stud would work though. from the looks of things on my car if i had the extra .5 i would be perfect. i only have the 3's right now...

Do you have the ARPs?

the last 1/2" or so is not threaded.

I test fitted the stuff with the ARP's and I don't like what I see.

I am getting tired of this crap. Maybe I will give bogart a call.

[AZSonicSnake]

no i do not. i am not sure exactly what stud i have, but i measured 2.5" last time i had the wheel off. so that means i only have the 3" ones since .5" is in the hub. the last 1/2 or so on the ones i have has no thread. this is part of my concern. i know if i get .5" longer atleast there will be more thread in the nut...

My stud measures 3.5 end to end and it still is not long enough.

What size are your spacers?

[AZSonicSnake]

3/4"

[AZSonicSnake]

went and shot a few pics...

here is the spacer...





and this shows pretty dang well how far the stud actually goes through. right where the shank is broken is about where the threads on the stud stopped. there was only the unthreaded part of the stud showing when the breakage happen.

Good thread.....Another question is......When all said and done with the spacer and the extended studs.....How do you run your regular street bullets with the same lugnuts it cam with for the wheel.... Where do you find open ended lug nuts that style? I think they are accorn type......

Do you still have the stock calipers Tony?

I see you have a 3/4" spacer. I have a 1".

What is the distance of the remaining broken shank on the nut side?

[AZSonicSnake]

yes, i have the stock cobra calipers. i put the 10th anniversary calipers on, and with a fresh pad, they would not fit. i had to take the brake pads to a belt sander and remove about 1/4 of the pad so that the caliper would not hit the wheel. even then it rubbed a little but just enough to remove the red paint on the out tip of the caliper.

honestly i had some of the open ended lugs left from my 98 gt and use them on my stock wheels. just had a little stud sticking out of the lug hole.
