    I have a 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4wd, OffRoad TRD 4 dr 3.5L with tow package. I have some new wheel spacers 1 1/4" to install but was not able to due to wheel studs and lug nut issues.
    I need to existing wheel studs to be 1/4" longer than stock.
    but I dont know what the stock ones exactly measure. I know that exactly 7/8" extends out that I can measure, this seems really short.

    Also I need new/different spacer lug nuts. The ones provided by the spacer mfg are a typical open end/open top bulge acorn but I need a lug nut that has a 1/4" extension on it to reach further into the wheel spacer to get more thread on the stud.
    So the lug nuts need to have the bulge acorn bevel at the bottom to help seat it properly and center everything and also a 1/4" extension beyond that to extend down into the spacer some.
    Can you help with any of this or know where to buy or source??

    Thats a bit longer than will work without grinding them down which I will do if I have to. That 10-15mm would work out to be like 3/8-5/8 longer. I need to be 1/4" longer and no more. But will keep this handy in case I have to go that way, thanks bud
