Longer wheel studs

[icourt]

Hi I’m fitting 285/75/16 tyres on the rear of a 1980 c35 dually, I’m having a wheel spacer made but I’m stuck trying to find some longer wheel studs and just wondering if anyone knows where I can get some , or who can make me some they would need shipping to the uk
Thanks in advance

I’ve never read of anyone finding longer studs for a D70HD, the factory ones are longer than a SRW axle.

You probably need a spacer with a combo of holes and studs to bolt on between the rear tires. The trick there is the spacer needs to be a high quality piece, not a cheap chinesium part off of Amazon or eBay.

Read page 140 and check your diamensions against catalog diamensions until you find what you need. How much linger do you need? You very well may be better off to buy spacers as @nvrenuf said. I have done both depending on what I was trying to accomplish..

Thanks it makes sense what you’re saying, I was thinking of just a blank spacer to spread the track , do you have any recommendations for spacers ?

A buddy of mine used some adapters from Arrowcraft, really high quality spacers - far from cheap though.
