Hwilli1647545487 Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renner Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 The Wheel Source in Dayton may know where to get them. I know they delt in a bunch of unique Supra parts for a while because Dave was racing that yellow one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwilli1647545487 Posted April 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 I'd post it over at Supraforums? I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwilli1647545487 Posted April 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Already posted on SF. Searched SF, and posted to the MKIV big list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwilli1647545487 Posted April 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 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! Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
