Hey I picked up some wheel spacers today and put them on the miata. My only worry is that the lugs dont go all the way on now... they only thread about half way due to the extra width. Is it safe as long as the lugnuts are tight?

That's no good. Get longer wheel studs.

 

[JamesCameron1]

yea... i was planning on that. Whats that normally cost?

$12-$15/wheel:

Be forwarned: getting the rear hubs off to switch the studs may not be something you want to tackle yourself.

 

[JamesCameron1]

yea I will probably bring it into a shop to have it done :mrgreen:

FC RX7 studs are longer replacements for miatas.

 

[JamesCameron1]

so they are a direct fit? no modding required? and how much longer are they? and also is there any specific year?

Will longer wheel studs be a problem if you switch back to normal wheels or remove wheels spacers?

AFAIK aren't there wheel spacers that actually have wheels studs built-in?

 

[vicious-s]

you'll need open lug nuts, not the acorn type.

there are super thick spacers that have a set of threads built in. they're usually 30mm+

yea and normally more then i'm willing to spend I dont use my center caps on the stock rims so I have no problems going back. I got half inch spacers... I tried them and it looked good but the lugs dont go on properly. #-o So FC studs will fit for sure without modding???
