Longer wheel studs
Where can I buy some? I just bought some C6 wheels and have 3/8 spacers for the rear and am not getting enough lug nut contact. Where do most people buy them at? Thanks.

Do you have to remove the hub altogether to get the old studs out and new ones in? Or is there an access hole or something that can be moved out of the way without removing the hub? Rear hub!!!

Yes there is a certain spot you can turn the hub to, to remove the studs. If you search there are several post about it on the forum. The thing is you'll hear the argument of "is it safe" to do as it may cause stress on the bearing if you over hammer it. Some choose to disassemble and remove the entire hub. This is a lot more costly then doing it the easy way (if your not doing ti yourself).
