Well, i put my Veilside wheels on today and the fronts were fine. Got the rears on ok but for some reason the nuts don't seem to go on very far? They do camber in at the tip so is it just me being paranoid when i felt a little unsafe driving it. Heres a quick pic

I'm going to take it to revolution to see if i can get some different nuts on saturday but for some reason as the camber lines up ok i think that's as good as i'm going to get?

 

Is it just me being paranoid?

I'll try to get some more pics up soon, weather and light permitting.

 

If it's a stud change, how costly/hard is that to do?

 

It shouldn't be too costly. Price up the studs and I can do the swap. I have a vice and a big hammer to remove the old ones, new ones are simply tapped into place and then pulled all the way home with a wheel nut on the outer side!

H&R do extended wheel studs for the Supra too. They were included in their 30mm spacer kit (a 15mm spacer either side) I got a couple of years ago.

 

The part number for the studs is 1254544.

 

They were a great fit in the hub and I haven't had any trouble with them since. I'm nearly sure I ordered the kit online from the UK but I just can't remember who.

So when it finally stops raining and i have time to take the wheel back off and measure the studs, how far should the stock Studs come out from the Hub in total? (Not total length of stud including the back of them, just how far they come out from the actual hub as this is what i will be measuring). Then l can determine weather mine have been cut down and i just need to replace them with Stock ones or wether i need the longer ones.

 

I don't know why anyone would need to curt the stock ones down though?

Well guys. I'm a total dumb ass. I took the wheel off this morning (in the rain) to photograph the studs only to find that there were 2 spacers on each wheel. How the hell I didn't notice these when I put the wheels on in the first place I'll never know. (prob was in such a rush before it rained again).

 

So took the spacers off and all is well.

 

Thanks for all the help though.

At least it was an easy and free fix :)
