longer wheel studs

Ramrodfunk

I'm trying to get some extended wheel studs for my 240.
What are people using?
Ash from DVS is on a break and I'd rather not get some from outside Aus. I don't want to wait or pay for postage.

I recall spending a night trawling through a parts catalogue looking for options and came up with nothing. Pretty sure the knurl diameter was the killer. 16mm or 16.8mm or something absolutely unique.

ARP apparently have some though I do not know part numbers sorry.

One my cars the aluminium space blocks are a winner, bolt the spacer to the hub, bolt the wheel to the spacer. They come with German TAC certification (at least they did a while back) and are perfect centre every time.

May be worth having a scroll back a few weeks, there was talk about the factory spacers, there may be a part number in there that can aid your search.

dmc Yeah, that's what has been a sticking point for me, the knurl diameter. I've got a stock stud here & I've measured it over & over and it is 16mm.I've found 1/2" unf studs with 51mm lenght but their knurl diameter is 15.5mm. Doesn't sound like much difference but I have no idea if it would be ok or not.
Yeah I was part of the earlier discussion. I've got my genuine spacers on the rears but now I'm trying to sort out the fronts with 20mm spacers that didn't come extended studs.
