Extended lug studs info please?

hey fellas,
i apologize for making yawl answer the same question twice bc i was reading a thread a few months ago about where to order some 44mm lug studs(to add some aftermarket wheel spacers) and i seem to have misplaced this information and i am unable to find the old thread also...at least i know this is an easy one for you guys tho,lol...and thanks ahead of time ! its a 2013 tacoma trd sport,4.0 auto

 

Why not get extended thread steel lug nuts? Gorilla lugs makes some. If you want really long studs there is a lexus model with the same specs, i did longer grade 8 studs in my first gen and i assume the specs are the same except stock studs may be different lengths. These things are long as fuck and i still have one downstairs i can get the part number off of tomorrow. I cut mine to the desired length i needed for my wheels.

 

What wheel spacers are you looking into?
I use ARP studs on my Mopar 8 3/4" rear end.

 

i was not aware of this option...i went with a cheaper model of wheel spacer and now im paying for it i guess but the place i got mine had several posts thad said "i just dropped in some 44mm wheel studs and no problems" and im needing a brake job too so i figured it shouldnt be a big deal to ask my mechanic to slap these in while the they have it torn down to a brake job already and slap my wheel spacers on in a two birds single stone move maybe,just maybe ! lol

 

ill hafta check the box at my shop for the brand,i cant remember...its the ones from Amazon...ill try to get you the brand tomorrow

 

If they are the cheapo lug centric spacers, I would personally suggest you nix the idea. Save up a little more money (you can probably get a set of 4 for $150 on CL) and get a set of spidertrax or other GOOD hub centric spacers.

 

no sir,i got the hub centric jobs at least...i did do some research before buying them,i just missed the part about needing longer studs until AFTER i bought them,lol...it just looked like it would be a "drop in" part and its not,i shoulda known,lol...

 

I used studs I got from summit off an older Lexus is300. Pm me if you want more info

 

I got mine from this vendor and where only $50 at the time.

You get two different length choices here, and more affordable if you only need 12 wheel studs.

This is the lexus stud swap im referring too, post it up

 

Do 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen use the same studs?

 

Here you go

 

are these the 44mm studs or do you need to cut them to fit ?

 

i really would have thought there would be a 4x4 shop or something that specialized in such things...ebay isnt where i imagined getting what i need ! but you guys definately more about it than i do so ill send for em if you say it works ! lol i just wanna get my stance on lol

 

Seems to me Dorman is a common brand of replacement wheel studs. If you look up the part number used on the truck it will often list the overall length and the "collar" diameter where it engages the hole in the matching hub. I've bought them from O-Reilly's and (I think) Rock Auto before using this method. There is a way to access the list of available Dorman studs on the net - and often you can get the exact thread, pitch and length you want by their part number.

In the past - I have used this method to source the studs I used to mount various items on my trucks that were then clamped in place with spare lug nuts. I just pulled up their chart to have a look (it can be down loaded from Dorman's site) and there were 665 or so sizes.

 

this dawned on me,i think there is a model of lexus that came with factory studs of the precise size i need ,prolly laying in my local AZ store collecting dust AND only .99 cents a pop...BUT...im not smart enough or self confident enough to make that call myself and i really NEED to hear someone that seems knowledgeable(maybe even 2 or 3 opinions if possible,lol) to say THUS IS WHAT WORKS...roflmmfao !

but seriously man im glad to see someone else at least realizes that too and thats willing to point out for free that theres a thriving market living off my stupidity ! lol theres probably some shady guy out there repackaging the .99 cent lexus studs and getting rich selling them back to us tacoheds for 3$ ! bahaha

 

i would very much like to know which model older lexus i could rob studs off...its looking like folks be charging 3 dollars a pop for "extended" studs and BET theyre the same damn thing,just playing on my need to have someone say "this WILL work" lol...and im also gonna hafta admit im new and i cant figure out how to pm you lol...

 

They are the same studs I posted a screenshot off that eBay page

 

tyvm sir

 

thanks to all yawl,ive ordered a set from fearless freds out in CA.it was 63.99$ and free shipping...ill be sure to let yuns know how these work out and ill even try to post some pics if i learn more about using the site ! hehe
