School me on extended lugs for my Skyline. The fronts are easy to come by, but I am hearing mixed things about the rears. Can you guys confirm or deny:

- The rear studs are a different spline than the fronts.

- My car shares studs with the 300zx.

- What is the stock lug shank length?

- How thick of a spacer can I safely run with the stock lugs?

I am working on fun summer wheel options and the wheels I am keen on will require a 10-12mm spacer.

Any help is appreciated, thanks all.

Whether or not you need extended studs will depend on your wheel type. My Stagea has different front and rear splines.If you are using aftermarket wheels you may need hub centric adapters as well. When buying studs (if required) the advertiser should be able to tell you what they fit. 10mm spacers should be  hub centric like this (you will also find extended studs on this site):

4/5x114.3 10mm hub centric slip on spacers

I'm looking at BBS LMs currently. I have the hub-centric stuff handled (I work in the VW world and we deal with that as well). So far, the stud sellers are able to indicate how much longer than stock (i.e.- 10mm, 20mm, etc).

and, if you look at the site I sent you, the diameter. If you don't know what size your studs are email GK Tech and ask. On my Stagea the rears are bigger than the fronts.

Just looked over their site, they have a handy chart in each lug listing and have options for the front and the rear. Thank you for that link!

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
