smitty Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Bought some Cheviot mesh wheels from Blizzo. Nice wheels, will have to give them a bit of a tidy up but nothing too major. Only problem is that the ke70s wheel studs are too short to fit the wheels on. So this leaves me with three options: Option 1: Extended lug nuts. This seems like the simplest option but I have no idea if it will actually fit between the wheels. Option 2: Extended Lugs. This actually seems like the best option in terms of durability and safety. It will definitely work which is good. It's just that at 10 per lug it'll soon reach 160 dollars for the entire car and I just wanted cheap rims. Not a big hassle added price tag. Option 3: Wheel spacers. Also not really that cheap but should probably work. Of course I could sell the rims and buy different ones but don't really want it to get to that. So what should I do? If anyone has any ideas then please feel free to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Chuck a pic up of the wheels, chances are you just need a set of shank type wheel nuts, not the taper seat the car will have factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Buy new wheelstuds but get them in from overseas for waaaaay cheaper than you can get them locally in NZ. https://www.summitracing.com/int/search/part-type/wheel-studs?ibanner=SREPD4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
