Ok so I called the Manuf KICS and they indicated it's not stocked here. But they can get it. PROBLEM: It will take 2 months to receive. Let me know if you're interested. It's about $5.00 plus shipping to you.
Otherwise see if you can find that part somewhere else.
Thanks,
Rishie

Maybe get those, and bring it to a machine shop to see if they can put it on a lathe and cut it down to size. Can probably have them lathe an unthreaded portion at the tip, like how it was orginally. Shouldn't be expensive at all, probably 10 minutes of their time.
Props to ARD T2 for his effort to help, for something that he obviously is not making money off of.

i have no idea.. these spacers are not even that old.. pherhaps some intense wear n tear. or the tires guys overtighten the bolts to my wheels.

look in here for other sizes: http://www.arp-bolts.com/Catalog/Catalog.html and http://www.arp-bolts.com/Catalog/Cat...atalog066.html
Then search for it at summit racing website.
I think you may want to measure the knurl (L2), and get the total length you need L1. And follow the table to find the right ones.
Our thread size is M12x1.5 so any of those GM or Hond@h should work.
For rear, I heard you have to get new hub bearing as well.
For front, it depends on clearance of brake shield and the hub. No need to remove hub.

many spacer companies use very common studs for their kits. Usually gm ones. All you need to do is take the stud down to your local auto parts store to match up the base size. The length might vary but that is not critical. An exact match on length is nice but a mm or so no biggie. The base can be measured with a caliper. Too small and it will spin after tightening. This is bad, you won't be able to loosen the nut if the stud spins out.
The stud you have is stripped. This is most likely from a bad nut or bad installtion. I would take a 12x1.5mm die and clean all the others up and get new lug nuts if need be.
Also. those spacers do not have a new centering hub to center the wheel. This will lead to vibrations. It also puts all the shear load on the studs instead of the hub where it should be. The hub is what centers and supports the wheel. The studs merely draw it tight. The better spacers are more money though

Also , if you find longer studs for the car that fit properly then you can get just spacers that have the trough hole for the long studs. They make these with the new centering hub. This would eliminate the extra set of nuts to attach the spacer. They can be made to be hubcentric to the car and then again to the wheel. This will ensure a factory fit.
