1/4'' wheels spacers
i ve seen several people on here say they are running 1/4 wheel spacers with stock lug nuts and stock studs. i went to put my 1/4'' wheel spacers on my 05 z51 today and the studs dont have enough thread to even start any lugnuts. the studs arent even threaded on the last 1/4''. i have zr1 replica wheels in base model size so that shouldnt make much of a difference. well i guess im gonna pick up some collared lugnuts.

The studs are easy, it is removing the hub to put the longer studs in that is the challenge. You can install stock length studs without removing the hubs, but not longer studs...

well thats what i meant yeah changing out the studs themselves is easy. so how are other guys running spacers without longer studs or anything. do other years have studs that are threaded all the way?

So I could replace the stock studs w/ studs that are fully threaded but the same length... w/ out pulling the hub ?

Here is the link to the studs that we sell. For the 1/4 spacers the 1/2 inch studs will work very nicely.
