Where to buy extended wheel studs in the GTA? I need a set to use with my H&R trak spacers (kit came used without the extended studs). I spoke with 401 Dixie Nissan, they want like $200.00 for the set of extended Nismo studs...no need to spend that kind of money on studs, in my opinion...

Thanks

Phil,

Just get a set of Ichiba's from ebay. I bought 10 and it cost me 30 bucks shipped via USPS. Ichiba actually is a vendor on ebay. I'm using Ichiba spacers too and they're hubcentric. Good product for a fraction of the cost.

Hey Napolean:
Who was the seller? I see pili-car sells a lot of Ichiba stuff? Or was Ichiba selling under their own username?

Also, how difficult was it for you to replace the stock studs with extended studs? What length studs did you go with? How wide is the spacer that is sitting on these studs?

i hear ichiba makes a quality spacer/stud from the guys on g35driver.com as well...id go with them if I didn't already pick-up the H&Rs

Hi Ruk,

Ya, Pilli is the distributor for Ichiba. Sorry, I meant "Ichicha has a vendor on ebay". When I was talking to Ichiba, they confirmed thier price and when I mentioned Pilli (pilli was actually cheaper!!!) they recognised them as a NA vendor. I've dealt with Pilli twice and they're really good to deal with.

I'm currently running 15mm spacers in the front with extended studs. I believe the overall length of the studs were 45mm for 15mm spacers, but I'm usure about the knurl length. I can double check at home if you like. I ordered a second set of studs from them in the winter for my rears. Its just been to cold to install them.

What size are your H&Rs? I highly recommend Ichiba should you be considering a second set.
