mag seat lug nuts

Anyone know where to find or if they even make a longer mag seat lug nut with a short Shank? The only studs that will work with my setup is too long by ~1/2". I looked all over online snd could only find longer ones with the shank being the longer.

If not I'll just end up making a jig to chunk the studs up on a lathe and cut them down .

How much time are you gonna waste looking for extra short lug bolts before you just cut some down? If you looked closer you'd probably realize you could use the longer ones without hitting anything? Idea

Already bought the shortest set available from Dorman with the correct knurl.

And I'm no idiot. Of course they are too long I wouldn't just assume.....

I don't work on this car everyday and my buddies machine shop is an hour away from me. So I have time to dick around looking for things that could work before I head over to machine a jig and then machine the studs.

I typically don't post until I come up empty handed from my fair share of research.

Okay, but usually lug bolts go through the wheel/drum or rotor into open space for 1" at least? I still say you can grind them off and taper the snout a little with your grinder yourself.

Yeah, you never show us any pics of what you have and are trying to accomplish? Wink

I figured a stud and a mag seat lug nut where obvious... not sure how someone can get lug bolt from that?

Sorry

Here are the 14mm studs which are too fat and long for my wheels. I need a shorty 12mm stud. So I bought the shortest ones they make and will have to cut them down unless I can find myself a longer nut.
