Problem with Z32 brake upgrade

Here's my dilema. I started ripping apart my front brakes last night, got everything apart, and threw on the Z32 calipers and rotors, put on the spacer (8mm) so that it would clear my stock 7 spokes, and after I put the spacer on, I noticed that there was barely any stud showing. So, I tried to throw the wheel on to see if I could get anything out of the studs, and that's a big negative. After I put the wheels on, I tried to put a lug nut on, there's no stud sticking through to get a lug nut onto.

So the real qustion is, where can I get longer wheel studs, the stock ones are about 1.75" long, and I need approx. 2.25, so I have a good amount of thread. Any help would be appreciated on where to find these studs. My car's ripped apart in my garage now, I need it back soon! Thanks in advance for the help...

The 300ZX hubs are quite long. You can try to take some from there. Otherwise, you can just go with the Nismo studs, if they aren't too 'spensive.

300zx studs are the same length...already checked on that one...and as for the Nismo studs, they run for around 90 bucks on ebay...I really don't want to drop 90 bucks on wheel studs...Are there any other cars that I can steal longer ones off of that will make it work?

try peak performance or the other kind foud on pdm-racing.com, they have pretty good stuff but i'm not sure if they can get ahold of 300zx ones, i know they do 240sx tho besides, NISMO = expensive for anything but studs is something you don't wanna cheap out on. btw where did you find 8 mm spacers?

The 8mm spacers were on ebay. And I know I shouldn't cheap out on studs, but 50+ bucks for studs is ridiculous....
