why do you want to change the studs if you're getting 1" spacers?

1"~ spacers come with new studs installed into the spacer. you mount the spacer on the stock studs (better hope the spacers are hubcentric) and secure the spacer with the stock lug nuts. then you take the wheel and mount it on the new studs sticking out of the spacer, and use the new lug nuts that came with the spacers to secure the wheel onto the spacer.

 

your best bet is just to get some custom made (what i did) or buy a set of H&R 25mm Trak Spacers for the mazda 929 (part number 5065595), they will bolt right up to the FC hub.

I am very aware of the type of spacers your talking about. I have heard stories of the bolts cast into the spacer snapping out of the aluminum under force. I believe that a safer method would be to replace the studs with longer ones and simply place an AL spacer between the rim and hub. That way, with one single stud the whole way through, there is no point for ti to break. I see in the other thread, you got yours made on ebay, i know the guy your talking about. How are they? Do you drive at high speeds often? how long have you had them on? How is the terrain you usually drive? bumpy? rocky? Just wondering how these types have held up?

 

sounds like an old wives tale to me, lots of my friends run spacers also and they all drive pretty hard (drifting every weekend, autocrossing also). i beat on my FC as well. every weekend i am on the highway for 15 or 20 miles doing 80+ mph.

mine are working just as they should. i take corners pretty damn fast and also like to autocross. getting sideways even while just driving to work is an everyday thing for me, and i have not had any problems at all and definitely recommend them.

 

Well if swapping my bolts proves too difficult I will try these style. As for the drifting and auto-x, i was under the impression that spacers were prohibitted for track use because of the same reasons I am afraid of using them.

 

For your interest in OEM wheels : https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/what-other-oem-rims-fit-our-fcs-354336/
I run 300ZX wheels. They look decent and are not terribly heavy. See the other post for details.

the studs are pressed in hardened pieces (or they should be unless you are getting them from some cheapo place). cast studs would be a freaking nightmare that would be snapping off left and right.

 

right now im probably gonna see what itll take to replace my studs with longer ones, and then take it to a mechanic or rim shop to get the right spacers and bolts installed. Ill feel safer with the longer bolts and an inactive spacer rather than having the weight and force of my wheel resting on a pressed or drilled bolt in a piece of AL.

 

I feel more unsafe with longer bolts but to each his own, make sure you get them to be hubcentric, if there not hubcentric spacers you can pickup hubcentric rings from ebay dirt cheap.
