    Longer lug bolts???

    Does anyone know if toyota makes longer lug bolts? The new rims I put on needed a small spacer and now the lug nuts screw on but i can only twist it like 2 or 3 times. im a lil worried it aint safe but it seems strong enough. Does anyone know if and/or how I should get longer lug bolts??

    go to toyota, ask for land cruiser wheel studs. They are slightly longer than stock corollas.

    yeah, go to autozone to get them. I broke a stud and I was able to go to autozone to get a new one

    hammer out the old ones...they will require some work, and then pop in the new ones.

    Put your car up on jackstands for the wheel you need to replace the stud on (its a wheel stud, proper name, heh). Take off the wheel and the brake rotor (if its in the front) or the drum (rear). Push the old stud out, this can be done with a hammer (this can be fun, but tiring if you're doing all 4 studs on all 4 wheels), you can get a tool to push the stud out... theres a press tool available for it, or you can use a large enough C clamp (position the fixed end on the back of the hub, and the part that moves onto the stud, and tighten the clamp which will gradually push the old stud out).

    Then put the new stud on from the back, put some sort of space on it (something thick enough and solid) and put the lug nut on and tighten it to seat the stud into the hub... and put everything back together.
