Growling Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hey guys. I've done a fair bit of googling and searching on the forum, but I just can't find a definitive answer. I bought some extended wheel studs for the rear of my Z last year. They came, and were too small in diameter for the hub. It seems the front studs on the Z are smaller than the rear. I believe the fronts are the same as S bodies, but the rear are larger in diameter. The company didn't know this, and thought Z's had the same sized studs all round. Now could anyone please either tell me the exact sizing of the rear studs, or point me in the direction of some extended rear studs in the UK? Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Weird. Unless I'm missing the point... The front and back wheels use the same lug nuts and spacers, so I'm not sure how they can be different diameters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 They are slightly different lengths, however the diameters are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growling Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 It would appear the diameters of the splines that secure the stud into the hub are different front to rear, not the diameter of the thread it's self? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I think that you will find that the splines are also the same front to rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growling Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Do you know the rear spline diameter please mate? From what I can gather it should be 14.3?mm The ones I were sold were 12.4mm! Edited May 17, 2017 by Growling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 There is no definitive answer to your question as the spline is tapered. However the diameter of the hole on the hub will be 14.32 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
