Reply With QuoteI found those when searching for longer studs for my D4 to fit non-standard alloy rims. However I discovered the rear studs couldn't be removed so found another solution - taper nuts with a shank that fits through the hole, in my rims anyway.

SupporterHi all
About 5 years ago I built a box trailer to suit my range rover. I used the same wheel studs and steel wheels on the trailer as I had on the range rover, so they were the standard sunraysia steel 15 x 8 rims.
When I sold my Range Rover, and purchased the 130 Defender, I set about to change over the trailer wheels to the wolf rims to suit the defender. What did I find? The wheel studs on the trailer were not long enough to suit the thicker steel of the wolf rim. There was only about 10 mm of thread protuding once the wheel was on the hub, which was just enough for the nut to screw on. Well, when I say just enough, two thirds of the nut was on the stud. I have been using the trailer like this with no issues ( I always check the studs before and after each trip), but it is worrying me.
The only quick fix that I could think of (after searching for longer studs) was taking the hubs off and countering boring the stud into the hub, but then I would loose some strength in the hub.
So searching on this forum has given me the answer - FRC7577 which is a Paddocks part number for a 60mm stud. The current studs on the trailer are about 42mm.
They are 1.82 pounds each from Paddocks and I have just ordered eleven (so I have one spare)
Cheers

SupporterHi Loanrangie
I just sent an email via their contact details using the part number.
I still haven't received my order from paddocks! I had better chase them up today.
I'll let you know once I get them

SupporterReceived my longer wheel studs in the mail today from Paddocks.
The docket didn't show the amount for freight so I will have to wait until the credit card statement comes through.
I ordered 11 studs so I could have one spare.
Attached is a picture showing the difference in length between the standard Defender stud and the longer stud. Sorry about the quality of the picture.
Cheers

SupporterRightio...changed studs over...
Old versus new photos attached. I feel much better now having thread sticking out of the stud.
Once again, sorry about the quality, not sure what is going on with the camera.
