Wheel Studs

[NickF]

To fit spacers(3/8) to the front hubs do you need to fit longer studs, can you use the rears as they appear to be longer? If not then possible to buy longer studs and from where?

Nick,

That's a very slippery slope your talking about. I do know that if you purchase stock 280ZX (HS130) wheel studs they are about 1/8 in. longer than the stock S30 studs.

However, if you would like some additional information about spacers check out this website:

This might be a better source for wheel studs. Back in the old days I bought a set of Nissan Comp wheel studs (unusually expensive @ $100+) only to find out that what I was shipped were standard thread and not metric! In any case you will want to make sure that you ask for 12x1.25 thread (12 being measured in mm) for your S30.

Nick,

You can get longer studs from Nice Products.

These are sold through Burson Auto parts and Supercheap Auto.

To answer your question. Yes, the rear studs are longer. And yes you can put them in the front. We did that to my Z.
