Guest kruzdy Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 just been to have a look at some hotwires....and they didn't fit. because there was not enough thread i would never get a warrant for them! does anyone know if i can modify the studs to make them longer....and how. Also do i need specific nuts for the rims i get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-gen Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 get some shank style wheel nuts ? are the studs to short ? or are they the wrong stud pattern ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kruzdy Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 they were just too short......the wheels fitted on the studs easy enough....weren't quite centered tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxtoy Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 is a 74 a Ke20/KE25??? i think there stud pattern was different to most other toyota's, 4*110 i think. also check the inside diameter of the wheel centre is bigger than the bit sticking out of the hub, that might be holding the wheels out further than they're meant to be. you can change wheel studs, its a bit of a mission though. most people who want longer studs seem to use hilux ones cause they are cheap, common, and usually heaps long enough. you would have to check they had the same diameter of the bit that gets pressed in to the hub first though. cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 nah its piece of piss if you wanna change them take the hub of and just tap the studs out with a hammer or sumtin, should be easy peasy unless they are a bit rusted into place then take a sample down to a good auto supply store and get something round the same diameter of the but of the stud that actually holds it in place in the hub. you can get the same thread as your old ones or get all new thread, but make shure youve got nuts that fit the new thread. your store eg supercheap auto or auto one should have a good replacement for ya. its not hard to swap them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ol_skool_esky Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 na i think most rolla's are 4x114.3....... and 4x110 is an rx stud rxtoy......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 na i think most rolla's are 4x114.3....... and 4x110 is an rx stud rxtoy......... Some early rolla's are 110. I know because I took the Chrome Weller 8-spokes off my brother's old 1971 Levin and put them on my old 1976 MkII Escort, because there's only 2mm difference between 110 and 108, some wheels will fit. kruzdy, you probably need (as z|gen already mentioned) shank style nuts, they have a wee sleeve that fills the gap you were seeing when they "weren't quite centred".

z-gen Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 if you dont also mind me suggesting, it might also be a good idea to upgrade your stud pattern and brakes. you fit KE7*,3* stuff on pretty easily too, and you will have a more common stud pattern.

Guest kruzdy Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hey thanx for all your suggestions....it is 114.3 not 110. and i did just need shank style nuts....got the hotties on now....looks mint...can someone tell me how to put a pic of my car in my signature?

AE25 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 ya need to upload the pic onto the web somewhere then in your profile put it in your avatar link ke2# rolla's have 4x110 studs unless its already been changed. there are some hotties with this stud pattern but it more common to find 4x114.3. rwd starlet 4x114 hubs are a bolt in swap but need keep original ke2 disk. ke3/ke7 hubs have larger inner bearing so need to have that bearing instead of original. inner seal may not fit on some. need to unbolt and smack the disk off to be able to pull studs out on the rolla's weird bout the hotties tho.. i had no probs fitting the 13x7 size?
