Little help on wheel studs
ok, i need longer wheel studs so i ordered Nismo wheel studs. I had taken a stock wheel stud out of my z31 hub and found that the hub hole needs to be bored out.
a difference of 1.32 mm (nismo - stock) The question is would be ok to bore out the existing holes to fit these studs? I dont see why this would be a big problem. Bore them out just enough so these sit just as factory. The hub bore is around 12.35. So maybe just bore out 13.7 mm. so that it has to snug in like a stock stud. taking out about 1.35mm It dont sound like much granted i have to do this 20 times but im just seeing whats your insight.

you couldn't find an exact match stud just in a longer length? seems like alot of work just for wheel studs... however if you got the math worked out i don't see the harm. as long as the bore is straight.
