Nice! Yeah 15mm is probably the way to go with the 2.5 inch studs. I also heard some people have had luck squeezing in 3 inch studs on without removing the axle nut. Something I may experiment with in the future.
Great video man - thanks for taking the time to help us with the process. Seems really straightforward. So what do you think? Think you'll go 15mm all around or get 3" lugs?
I actually went with 12mm spacers all around. And with that I can lock in 13 threads. (New video next week). 15mm def would’ve been doable, but I didn’t want to make another costly mistake because these are non returnable. You only need 9.6 turns to properly engage this thread pitch safely. (12 divided by 1.25)
interesting.. I have a similar setup. just recently got the 3'' arp studs and 20mm spacers. I will see how this fits after installing them. if im not comfortable with the amount of thread left, I might try a smaller size spacer. maybe a 15mm?
I think that should work perfect. I kept the 2.5 inch studs on and installed 12mm spacers. To be honest, I could’ve gone 15mm with the current set up. But if you’re doing 3 inch studs, I think you’re golden with 20mm.
can i ask what brand and model is your impact wrench? I need to replace some wheel studs on my 22 BRZ - tire shop over tightened, I think they're cross threaded, so I'm looking for a not too heavy impact wrench.
Thanks for this video! Going to try installing my 15mm spacer with 2.5 arp studs this weekend

Were you able to install and run this set up safely?

It’s a Makita XWT15Z. Kind of on the pricey side, but I think the auto slow feature is nice and worth it so it doesn’t over do it.
