jpfish Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 NEED HELP! i put on new rims w/ spacers and i only got 4 turns of the lugnut after torquing to 100 ft/lb. Is this safe to drive on? or if i re-torque every week or so? Or should i get new studs? if so how much are they.... my car is a 95 gp GTP. thanks, jp Quote
sonyman87 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 4 turns are you serious! can you even see the bolt from the other side of the nut? how much of it is actualy on there? + why do you need spacers? Quote
jpfish Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Posted April 5, 2005 i donno how much is on it. And i need spacers, because the wheels werent clearing the caliper. (Lexani Krystals) Quote
jpfish Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Posted April 5, 2005 about 4 of the tread lines of the 9 or 10 thread lines on the stock lugnuts Quote
jpfish Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Posted April 5, 2005 where, and how much? part number? or the size of them? thanks for the input!! Quote
90TGP Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Can get them at a local parts store. Tell them you need stock lugbolts, but 1/2" longer. A mechanic can install them. Quote
z34_nut Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 they are easy to do youself, but if your not machanically inclinded, have some-one else do em mostly so if your wheels fall off you can get money back... Most places wont do it for the liability... how-ever, there are a few places. i've torqued my wheels with spacers down with 6 turns, and i've driven over 6k w/o re-torque and across the country... i'm more worried about these damn GM ball joints then anything.
