Default Drm wheel studs

Greetings,


I recieved the DRM wheel studs that I ordered(Thanks Randy!) It is a good product and great customer service. I look at them and compare them to the stock ones and even though they are 1/2 inch more thread they are actualy about an 8th of an inch longer than the factory stud.

Has anyone run these without using a spacer on factory wheels(Ls2)???

Im just curious because I might change my mine about running spacers. I know what I was told by DRM but I look and look at these and feel like they might fit.(Im no expert)

Any info would be apreciated.

The easiest way of checking if the stud is bottoming out in the lug nut is to.

Put the stud in the hub. Put the wheel on with a couple nuts. Put a dab of greese or putty on the end of the stud. Then tighten that nut up and take it back off. Check to see if the greese or putty not smashed out, or if smashed to the bottom of the nut.

If you need more help please let me know!!!

Mine fit fine with the OEM nuts and wheels (also on my repro race wheels) without spacers.
