I changed from the 7/16 to 12mm studs. I am using 300ZX wheels. I used 45mm
studs. These allow for 1/4 spacers in the rear and 1/2 in the front. The
funny thing is I bought these at my local trailer wheel supply store. They
were 18.00 for the 16 studs. I was surprised the local wheel distributor had
them but he actually had quite a large variety. Had some the were 60mm long.

>Mark,
>A number of folks on the 510 list have been going through a similar
exercise. Unfortunately the 510 used metric studs/nuts. The long NISMO
stds run at least $12/each! You also need to be careful to match the
proper style lug nuts with the wheels you use. I noticed in the latest
JEG's catalog that they offer a wide variety of stud sizes, lengths and
designs, and a wide variety of nuts, too. Might be worth checking out.
The 13 x 5.5 4-bolt Corvair rims were a popular/inexpensive swap on the
510's since they were an inch wider that the OEM 4 inch wheels.
Do you have the URL/phone number for Clark's?
Thanks, Ron
