Need longer wheel studs

I am putting different wheels on my 98 tacoma, when I first put them on the front they rubbed against the break caliper, so I added a spacer but now the lugs cant get enough thread on the stud.

I went to an auto parts dealer and they couldnt find any studs that had a knarl of 14.2 mm that was atleast 55mm long. Right now the studs are 40mm. These wheels look great on my truck and I really hope I can find these studs! Not finding them on the internet either. Anyone else had this issue, or know somewhere to look?

I had the same issue fitting some bigger tires on my 4runner. I ended up buying 1" bolt on spacers.

Use wheel spacers or better yet get rims with the proper backspacing.

go to summitracing.com, and look up ARP wheel studs for a Lexus IS300, its the same thread pitch as yout truck. they run about $30 a pack. just remember to order 3 packs cause there are 5 studs per pack.

Without pic's, this is just a guess, but you probably need something like the lug on bottom right. Maybe longer

They make extended lug bolts to bite more of the threads when running bolt on spacers. They would probably work for your problem too depending on how much thread is sticking out http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/...s-p-24839.html

Go to Discount Tire and ask for ET (extended thread) lug nuts.

Better yet stop using spacers and get wheels w Propper backspacing. Spacers can lead to improper mounting and cause a wheel to work its way off. Any decent tire shop won't even touch spacers.

In the photo listed above you would only want to use the lower right if you needed a mag seated lug (stock Toyota wheels use this) most aftermarket will use an acorn seated lug. Post a pic of your setup. Below is what I run. For Toyota the lug is a M12x1.50
