Installed Stern Beast ST1 wheels on my 2005 Crossfire. Grease cap dislodges wheel cap. I need 10mm spacer and extended chrome lugs. Does anyone know where I can buy spacer and extended chrome lugs?

 

what you need to do is put a lug into your stock wheel, measure how far it sticks out, then do the same with your new wheel and spacer, next does the new wheel take taper or ball lugs,, i can get both i think they are about 3.25 ea the lug in the pic is taper. jim

Thanks for your reply, I will check out and get back to you.

 

I bolted my spacers to the wheel, here is a pic of the taper and the ball lug bolt. factory is ball aftermarket is taper. jim

Been there and done that.


Lugs, tapered are NOT TO BE USED WITH BALL WHEELS. You are asking for cracking and or broken studs. Loosing a wheel is not fun, done that too, both on one side in an autocross turn, thanks to Carlisle cheap studs.


Buy the correct length at EBAY, there are all lengths available. Crome too. I used 10 mm spacers and opened up the inner hole to allow it to fit the wheel. No I was not interested in true center as the wheel is centered by the bolts and not the hub. This is why you tighten all the lugs a bit to seat them BEFORE you tighten any one of them.


The correct length is important and if you are using the SAME wheels then you need 10mm longer bolts, if it is a different wheel, you need to follow Jims approach as every wheel is different depth and needs careful measurments.


THe front can take a long bolt no sweat. THe rear will destroy the brake adjusters if the bolt is touching them, with a tick tick noise. }

Measure twice and order once. Woody

 

Bought some of these to use with my 20s from Jim, they are fantastic quality IMO

 

Did anyone even answer your question? You asked where to buy spacers and bolts. Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Technology
That's where I ordered spacer/adapters and tuner bolts. My bolts have a cone seat but don't look like either of the ones the guys posted. Tenzos require tuner bolts. It depends on your wheel as to what you need. I don't know what Stern requires, and neither does motorsport tech. They sent me the wong stuff 3x.... and I had to pay for shipping all 3 times. Their customer service sucks..their employees are polite just the way they do business sux. I finally got the right stuff after I spec'ed out what I needed from the White Knight website. Still had to cut my bolts to the correct length when I got them. It's better that way I guess anyway.

 

Last time I checked, these will be your best prices.

thank you B...that's why I checked this post. to get some new sources.

 

No problem, and I am glad I could help. I ordered bolts for a set of CLK drag wheels about a month or so ago and was very pleased. I got turned on to them by Buggin, a member that has a bad SLK32 AMG.
