Wheel Studs

I am trying to source longer wheel studs for my friend Steve's MKIV.

 

He purchased set of rims used, and they did not clear the caliper. He ordered a set of Hubcentric adaptors from a local dealer, and he sent him HR Adaptors which come with wheel studs.

 

Well the HR Adaptors that were sent are for a MKIII. The Adaptor works, but the studs do not. The head has a different type of thread on it.

 

Steve has checked several places, but no one seems to make these. I need to know who manufactures them/where to get them.

 

The Adaptors were 15mm. I believe the new stud is just under 2 1/2 inches.

 

TIA,

Tried.

 

Wheel Source.

Passen (eek)

Discount Tire

 

Several places online.

 

Seems like most Supra guys are using Morroso Studs. They are 3inches though (to long), not quite the right knurl, and will require different lugs.

 

Still looking.

 

Might be a nice set of Advan/Yokohama rims w/ Perelli tires for sale soon.

Well after extensive research, and multiple suggestions, two of the 10 studs are in.

 

Thanks to Brian for the "freezer" trick idea.

 

MKIII studs WILL work on a MKIV. Just need to show them a little love. Read "BFH"

 

Anyway, Steve is not out of the woods yet. Have to wait and see if this fixes his orignal problem of his wheels not fitting.

 

Thanks guys!
