so i came up on the most beautiful starion wheels, and what do you know, they fit without a problem. at least in the rear, they do.



i have the big 4 piston brakes and they hit my front rims soo bad. i solved the problem by rockin 5mm spacers.



the very spacers that solved my brake problem now create another problem. my lug studs aren't long enough for my lugnuts to really thread on more than 2 or 3 turns. that just doesn't sit right with me.



i've gone to a few shops and anyone who even carries the studs only have the stock length. anything longer with the same thread pitch is thicker, which means i can't just press them in to replace the stock ones.



now i've SEEN other people rollin' on the starion wheels, so i know it's possible.



where can i get longer studs?

can you get a different type of lug nut on there? the shank style or whatever they call them?



it would not suprise me if guys "rockin" the starion wheels only had 2-3 turns on thier lug nuts!
