Not sure why you need longer studs but i'm sure if you've any searches on this, you've probably seen Loogy's name mentioned more than once.
I just finished a wheel upgrade on my Westy and after a lot of research, both locally and on the web, Loogy had the right parts at the right price but more importantly, the right information AND the right customer service.
Unless you need them right now because your van is on fire and longer stubs will put it out... get your studs (and any other hardware for non stock wheels) from Loogy
You won't regret it

yeah, i know, i bought my lug nuts from loogy. i just would like to get them now since i'm trying to finish up a job so i can get my van back off jack stands. i will most likely get them from van cafe if they have the length i'm looking for, they are like 45 minutes from my house and anything they ship to me arrives next day...with cookies!
but, i would be much happier if i could finish it today, hence the question. |

well, not really, they aren't open on the weekends. i was asking because i wanted to finish the job on sunday 
that said, i've aready ordered some from them and they will be here tomorrow. besides even on my 45 mpg motorcycle, i'm still better off having it delivered. taking off for 3-4 hours during weekday business hours isn't that easy. |
