Question on wheel studs and spacers

If I wanna run about a 1/2" spacer in the rear, will I need longer wheel studs?
thanks

Re: Question on wheel studs and spacers

You can check it yourself. Unscrew a lug nut until it is 1/2" from the seat. If the stud threads still extend 12mm into the threaded portion of the lug nut, you are OK. If they don't, you need new studs.

I think the reason no one knows is because the use of "spacers" seems to be limited to the thin ones you need to use Weld Pro-Stars.... 5/16". I don't think its a good idea to use a wide slip-on spacer. It stresses the studs. You get a billet spacer that bolts to you stock studs, and has a second set of studs to bolt your wheels to. Not sure if they make them in 1/2", but this source could tell you:
