Longggggg Wheel Bolts

Recommended Posts

Jrod

Right here is my wheel with washers just to set how long the spacer will be.

I have just over 10mm sticking out I'd say which isn't really enough, does anyone know where I can get some taper seat bolts LONGER than 60mm? The one in the pic is 60mm so 70 would be perfect.

 

Or wheel studs, will need to be bloody long though, 100-110mm I guess.

I'm currently arranging a quick group buy for some more studs, 100mm ones are available (longest listed) but I didn't ask for the price just now when I rang about the others.

 

That is to little thread sticking through though imo, I definately wouldn't use them, once the disc width is included you'd might only have about 5mm in the hub which is very dangerous.

You ought to go for studs anyway as it is a pain to line up the wheel and insert the bolt with a spacer on.

Yep ideally but I didn't know where I could get them long enough!

In that case, you could get a spacer made with countersunk bolts and have the 4x108 pattern drilled and tapped into the spacer and use normal bolts

I didn't want spacers like that, the one I've seen are all steel and weight a fair bit more than alloy ones.

I got the stud conversion group buy stuff through one of their distributers, you can't buy direct from them.

 

graystone engineering.com

 

They don't list any bolts longer than 75mm iirc.
