No 8 lug spacers for 5/8 studs?

tonybolton · Dec 6, 2016

My Dodge front D60 has the big honkin' 5/8 studs......all the spacers I'm finding are for 9/16. I reeeeeeeeally don't wanna change the damn studs on this thing if I can help it.

Anyone got any links? I think I'm bout Googled out.

Also, studs are too short to use any slip on spacer....already thought of that.

Thanks anyone!

If I had your money, I would just order a new 14 bolt front from WOD with the proper size studs.

IF you need some larger size wheel studs, give Rockwell American a call in Irondale. They are the only ones I could find that handled large wheel studs for my trailer. :dblthumb:

The struggle to count all of your cash, don't count as a struggle. :****:

I'm kind of in the same boat but my 3/4 tons use 1/2" studs. You can find them but the price is triple what the 9/16" version cost.

Check on US Wheel Adapters. Pretty sure they custom make anything you need but I'm sure it'll be like xjmarc said and pretty costly.

How much spacing do you need?

fabricator1 · Dec 7, 2016

I drilled a set out to fit the dodge external hubs. I think I only had to open up the bore for the lugnut and socket to fit down in. The actual seat where the lug nut hits was fine the way it was. I probably still have the spacers laying around the shop still. I don't use them anymore

Was gonna try just a 2" to keep my tires off the front link bars and shocks all around.

Just drill em X2...

The cone seat centers the lug... The hole just has to clear the lug

I would agree. You're only removing .031" per side so I would think it would be fine to drill them out

Yeah I hear you guys on the drilling but I could just see me getting them drilling them and then when they fail everybody saying oh my gosh I can't believe you drilled on an aluminum spacer! ****in idiot!!!
