nunya Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/34586-extended-wheel-studs/?fromsearch=1 Op in this thread apparently found longer studs but didn't share a part number/location (of course I'm assuming he disney quite care for the response to why he was searching for them, thoug the didn't honestly get help either. But in defense of NPORA it ain't something that's common enough for everyone to know). Might want to send him a pm and if you get an answer feel free to share in this thread to help others who may look in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 If I found some for my old 2WD, there's gotta be something for a 4WD. I just went to Napa, told them what I needed and we figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeraedave Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Dorman manufactures a bunch of different wheel studs, go on their site and find the specs for your stock studs, then find the same spec but longer. I put longer studs in mine because I didn't fell that 7/16" thread engagement was adequate, I also changed from 1.25mm pitch to 1.5 which provides for a little deeper thread. I don't remember the part number, but Dorman has a pretty good site, you'll be able to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoesandsocks Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 so turns out im a noob never had a wheel that needed a mag lug nut before so false alarm but i fell like we should post some more info on it for the future. And i bought some new wheels the steels look awesome but i found a old school rim that fits looks good and weighs 8 pounds oh and i bought it on the craigslist for 30 bucks for all four good day lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdtimesacharm Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I put longer studs in mine because I didn't fell that 7/16" thread engagement was adequate, I also changed from 1.25mm pitch to 1.5 which provides for a little deeper thread. Interestingly, a 1.25mm thread may well have been stronger option than a 1.5mm. What got me thinking about this is the amount of land cruiser owners who break wheel studs. An extended 1.5mm must be sufficient though, or they wouldnt sell 'em, right? http://www.boltscience.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 You can buy Nismo extended lugs, it's for the 240's, I would see if those would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I need longer studs for mine as well, I have Enkeis and I'm not thrilled about the lack of thread on the lug nuts even though it's probably fine. NAPA couldn't find me anything, and Dorman lists only 12x1.5 threads. I would much rather have 12x1.25 as it's stronger and I bought all new lug nuts already.

seeraedave Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The difference in cross section between a 12x1.25 and a 12x1.5 is only 5%, can't say that this really concerns me much, especially when the 1.5's tensile strength is up around 151,000 psi, x 6 studs.

Kingman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Even then, it's another $35 in lug nuts I don't want to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeraedave Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm not implying that you should buy them, I'm stating that there is absolutely no reason why I should not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
