Let me start from the beginning.....

Bought a set of 16" OZ prodrive alloys. Have just found out they don't fit on my classic !!!!

Problem 1) The discs have a lip which is slightly wider in diameter than the 'hole' in the alloy. Problem fixed, will machine alloy to fit.....

Problem 2) The Studs are too short. Now, where can I buy longer studs from AND will they be a problem in replacing. I really don't want to replace wheel bearings etc....!!!

HELP !!!!!!!!

 

do this on gpN rally cars all the time...................studs available in a couple of sizes, can't recall exactly off hand but around 20-40mm longer than std......................

normally change the nuts for a "open back" type at same time..................

give me a shout if you need any help

BTT..... anymore ideas ???

 

Looks like Alyn has given you all the advice you need.
I replaced mine with longer studs as the standard ones don't cope very well with regular wheel changes (I do a fair few track days) and have had no more problems than normal with wheel bearings etc.

 

TEG sport http://www.tegsport.co.uk/ sell the group-N studs which are about 10mm longer than standard. Their new price is a bit steep though.

They can be fitted without removing the hubs - unless you get much longer ones. I'm sure some folk just hammer-out the old ones but I thought it kinder to improvise a screw-press to push them out.

 

just hammer the old ones out
