Longer wheel studs

Im after 10 longer wheel studs which would allow me to use a 10mm spacer on the fronts.

Ive checked a few of the usual places online but the going rate seems to be over a fiver each [:'(]

Does anyone happen to know of any suppliers who can supply 10 for a more competitive price?

Many thanks.
 
I know it is no help to you but standard alloy wheel nuts are near enough a fiver each now.

You can fit 7mm shims with the std studs.

Cheers but I cant fit centre caps for my new alloys on the fronts unless I use spacers of at least 10mm. The hub thingy sticks out too far. PITA [:mad:]

That's a pain.

You can't "mill" 3mm from the back of the centrecaps (?)

Unfortunately not, although having said that there is no way my wheel studs would be long enough to accomodate 7mm spacers. They are supposed to 'purchase' one and a half times with width of the stud (from what I can gather). With 7mm spacers each stud would only bite about 1 cm (maybe less) so it would be too risky.

I read on one website where it is supposedly possible to shorten the hubs but not too sure about that.
 
Paul Higginson at PH Sportscars. Elusive but more likely to sell them for a sensible price.
