Im still trying to fit wheels to my car, its been 3 weeks!! I am running stanza or exa (same thing) hubs 10" roters and grippers on 1600 up rights. because of the thickness of the calipers im finding it impossable to get wheels to fit. i have tried 13" enky racing wheels; no way, i have tryed 14" enky racing wheels; no way and i have tried 13" and 14" minilights which will fit but only with a 10mm spacer.

try Arthur Jackons, road and rally shop. Aurthur has been in the game for as long as i can remember. Hes located in sydney. I got studs 5mm longer as i had similar probs. Im sure he would post them to NZ.
Theres alway going direct to nismo. the genuine studs are 10mm longer, but cost the earth (about $12 AU each from memory)

I had a similar problem and I found that old skyline studs are longer and fit just great

Yeah, Skyline ones are the go. I went to the wreckers to get mine, they let me have them for free, because I bought some other bits and pieces. Take a wheel nut with you, and make sure it's the same thread. Chris.

Hey Quinn try going to a place i think its called Bricon Engineering not sure of the spelling its on the nth shore i think, just take in the measurements and i do mean all the measurements of the size stud you want to be built and they will build custom ones for you.
and guys its more than thread size youve got to think about stuff like knucle length and diameter as well. if you are unsure of the measurements go into repco and ask about buying wheel nuts and bolts, they got a little booky foldery thing that has all the measurements in them just write them all down, but add mm to the length obviously. also have you asked your mate how much he would part with his A15 for yet?

silly boy we wouldn't have used them if they were the same. They are longer. make sure they are off an old skyline or maybe a datsun 240k. maybe the later skylines have different ones
