It depends on the wheel. I had TTII's and the size of the stud isnt the problem. you dont have room to put the larger lug nut and then get a larger socket over that lug nut because of the way the wheel is made. It just wont work.

Make sure you measure the axle flange thickness, rotor and rim thickness so you get the right length, those ones from summit might be a bit long and I personally like the medium size washers, I think they are a little less than 1/2" thick.
the ones i have fit perfectly!....i have moser axles, aerospace brakes which have a 1/4 inch thick hat....and then a prostar....and i use the med size spacer and the stud passes thru the open nut by a thread or two....

kinda a crappy angle but u get the picture...

Those fit pretty good, I am going to get mine then machine them down so I have about 3/8" sticking out past the nut.

i would machine down the spacer if you want more stud to be out....i used the smaller of the two spacers...they are just aluminum....

i just wanted a stud that i KNOW i wouldnt break...haha....some call it overkill but hey...i dont worry bout my 9inch or my studs out back....i worry more bout the tranny and engine

Maybe I should just weld my rim to the rotor since it is aluminum, plus I'll save weight on studs, what do you think LOL
