simonpelly Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Hi Folks, Been looking into the topic of wheel studs for use with Wolf wheels, in particular stud lengths. (Defender 110 CSW 1996 300 Tdi) Not a new topic and appreciate large numbers of folk use standard length studs with no reported issues. Not wanting to stir that debate - well maybe a little. However, came across these today - Zeus manufactured studs coming in at 56mm. Liking the look of the Zeus stubs as the FRC7577 extended studs look as though they will be way too long. http://www.zeus.uk.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=11x Has anybody had any experience of using them?

western Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 stud length list in here https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/34407-new-wheels-too-thick/ along with a post I wrote years ago about my findings & another list of measurements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I've them on the lightweight, not road tested yet, but they fitted fine to the series hubs. These were for wolf rims on a series with disk brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Simon, I’ve had three different sets of genuine wolfs on three different 300tdi defenders over the years and each time the wheel stud is flush to the head of the nut. I also have an old 200tdi 90 I bought recently just to launch boats with which is fitted with the frc7577 studs and wolf rims (not by me!) and can confirm they look daft with 10-15mm stud protruding as in attached photo Edited November 30, 2019 by oneandtwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpelly Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Thanks for all the information and image - really helps. Convinced that FRC7577 are way too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 the FRC7577 are for steel wheels on heavily armoured defenders, these wheels have much thicker centres so need longer studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The Zeus versions look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
