Extra long wheel studs for spacers

[Dino]

I need to add 1/2" spacers to the rear axle to push my wheels out.  I can find plenty spacers but where do I find longer press in wheel studs?

Try Summit Racing

Check around on spacers first. They make them for Jeep that mount to the stock studs and have studs mounted on them.

Nothing at Summit but I did find 3" long studs at Jegs.  Seems real long but I can always cut them.

I love those Jeep spacers but there doesn't seem to be any in 1/2" width.  I'll keep looking for something like that first though.

Any reason to go with a billet spacer over cast aluminum?  I don't see why the latter would not perform just as well as the former.

These guys make spacers and wheel adapter in any size you want: http://www.schippan-shop.de

The site is in German but Google or I can help to translate. Prices are pretty good too: about $110 per pair of adapters!

Thanks!  My German is rusty but I can still manage.  I can't believe these things are TUV approved over there!  You can barely change out a light bulb without going through stacks of red tape.

I just realized 1/2" spacer leaves no thickness for a lug nut for the type in my link.... Your going to have to install longer studs and cut them to fit.

Running into this right now.

Where'd you end up getting spacers and longer studs? Did you do the 1/2" x 3" screw in studs from JEGS and the spacers from the Germans?

I put that mini project on hold as I had other things going on.  I'm going to revisit it again once I have the rear bakes in order as I might swap the drums for discs.

moroso makes the long stud that is a press in. Mancini sells them also.

I take it I'm better off getting press in than screw in then?

Nice matte '68, looks nice with that cowl and dish rims, great choice.

Mine started life as a 383 2bbl too. Means I get to mod it all I want and won't hurt its value

Right, press in.

Make sure you get hub-centric spacers. The lugs aren't designed to center and support the wheels.

I got longer and stronger wheel studs, and the spacer has a flange that looks like it's designed to help tighten up the axle hub to inner wheel hub spacing for a tighter fit.
