Hugh Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 After my cv conversion my current wheels offset means the inside rim rubs on my rear damper dust shield. :'(After a bit of trial and error I found that a 10mm wheel spacers will sort the rubbing out. I have bought some 3/8 unf longer wheel bolts to allow for the 10mm spacers. Now can anyone tell me is there an off the shelf 3/8 unf wheel stud that will do the job.Or can someone tell me what is the spline fitting diameter and number of splines on the standard GT6 wheel stud.Thanks Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Not sure if mini studs are the same, they will be available.I suspect Jigsaw may sell longer studs too, I am sure he or one of the others keeps them.But I am surprised you haven't taken the opportunity to upgrade to 12mm studs, easier to find and a little stronger :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They often take a bit of a strange nut so it could be because of that that he'd not fitted bigger studs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Will ;) they are original 70's Wolfrace ones and two of them I have on the back wheels have sleeves that fit into the wheel and a thin shanked nut go through the sleeve. The two at the front ones do not need the sleeves they just have a bigger dia nut with a washer.I think that it could be they were never an original 4 set of wheels but 2 wheels from one set and 2 from another set, but they are identical Wolfrace wheel i.e. off set and width.

I have a supplier who I am getting 10mm wheel spacers and 8 wheel studs of 3/8 unf thread and the correct length to match my wheel and wheel spacer but they have asked me for the spline fitting diameter that fits into the hub and holds it in place.This I do not know :-/I know other places sell this wheel studs but I want to do an all in price and supply from this chap. Can anyone give me the answer please :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Thank you GT6 missed it the first time you posted it also thanks Roy for your answer to me. Oh and cheers for both of your understanding of my repeating my question :B . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hugh, the Vitesse one I have sitting here on my desk is 13.5mm accross the splines, 12.2mm on the smooth bit adjacent to the splines.I suspect that this is to ensure a tight fit in a 1/2" (13mm) hole.Unlike some, I had to hit these pretty hard to get them to come out!CheersMikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
