Snapped Spacer Lug

Grindkiezer · 03-16-2013, 07:57 PM

Hey everyone I need some help. Today I installed my SPC Camber Links and Upper Control arms. After finishing the install I torqued my lugs to ~80-83 lbs when one of my lug nuts snapped off.

The lug snapped from my ichiba 25mm wheel adapter spacers and so I'm wondering is there a way to replace the lug on the adapter alone? Or do I have to buy a whole new set?

If you aren't running stud replacement spacers, nows the time to swap. I recommend H&R DSR spacers. Stillen has them on sale all the time.

They only go to 20
I run 25mm on the back so I can only get adapters for that size no stud replacements. Now I'm just wondering if it's possible to do a stud replacement on the adapter itself

Yes you can change the stud on it. You'll have to bang it out and install a new one from the back. Thats pretty much it.

Would you happen to know where I could find one?
I've found stud replacements for 10 and 20 mm but not 25, and found these ones:
ARP Extended Wheel Studs

Are your Ichiba spacers bolt on ones? If so, you wouldn't need an extended stud.

Grindkiezer · 03-16-2013, 11:02 PM

yeah they're 25mm bolt on adapters, so would just a 25mm stud fit?

I don't know the size off hand. Best bet is to measure what the other ones are and go with that.
