Subject:      Longer Wheel Studs
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Volks,


Looks like I'm going to install the big brake kit on my '86 Westy.  I've picked up a set of vintage 6.5X16" ET30 MB BBS rims that fit nicely and look sweet.  Anyway, they've got a thick mounting surface which will require longer studs.  I've got only about 1/4" of purchase on the stock rear studs.  I know the big brake kit comes with new hubs with studs but I'm guessing they're not long enough.  Two questions:  What's the best source (easiest, quickest) for longer studs?  Can I replace the rear studs without pulling the hub assembly?


Thanks.
