Extended Length Lug Bolts (35mm)

[Loco38SUP]

With recent discussions about lug bolts I wanted to share some data I gathered while upgrading mine.

The factory hubs only have 8 threads of depth. This equals about 9.5mm or 3/8” engagement with the lug bolts, see pics below.

The HRE wheels I’m running have thicker mounting pads. Since I’m tuned I wanted a little more of a guard-band in case something went wrong.

I decided to go with the Kics Leggdura 2-piece racing bolts. They’re made of SCM435 Forged Steel and feel solid when torqued to spec.

The bolts are extended versions (35mm) and give me the extra piece of mind I was looking for.

Here are some reference dimensions for people looking at getting longer lug bolts.

- Dimension from back of wheel to end of stock lug bolt (mounted) = 21mm
- Dimension from wheel hub surface to spindle mounting bolts = Front 34mm, Rear 32mm

Hey man I was planning on getting these since I just got some TE37sls and wanted to get some red lug bolts. https://www.vividracing.com/-p-1543...YiN0BMVlJe7bMYk804lLrRQxJyBAEc3hoC3isQAvD_BwE
How have they been working out for you? And do you need anything special to run them?

The Kics lug bolts are working great. I’ve noticed less settling after installing them. When I re-torque them after 30 miles they don’t move at all.

The link you sent are the M14x1.5, be sure to order the M14x1.25. That’s the right thread size.

Oh damn thanks for the heads up.
Do you happen to have a link to the M14x1.25s?

another option is, using stud kit. I'm using APEX stud conversion and made wheel dismounting\mounting so much easier.
