Wheel Studs

[graham 500]

I need 10 standard wheel studs for my V8V, any OEM recommendations as to where to get them from?

Just to clarify, I need the studs that come through the hub as these have been cut down in the past to fit spacers. I now need to remove spacers. Aston, according to local dealer will only sell complete hub set. I know they are a volvo part but need size or even better part number.

Sorry if I'm just confused, but why would they have been cut down? To fit spacers, the original studs should be removed and longer ones installed.

I have longer studs on mine as I was running spacers with OEM wheels. I had a custom set of wheels made and the longer studs aren't necessary anymore, but I've left them on so I can still have the option of using the spacers w/ OEM wheels to run a different set of tires.

If you have longer studs, you only needed some open-ended lug nuts and you'll be fine. If you do need new studs, they are the same thread as a Ford truck or van, not sure about length, though.

I bought H&R 23mm spacers, the existing threads on the hub that the spacer sits on just snagged the indentation on the rear of the wheel. The option I had was to cut these down or drill out back of the wheel which the consensus of opinion was to cut threads down.
