	Thinking about putting spacers on the wheels of my 74 2002 to fill out the arches a bit, however the bolts only turn 9 times at the moment when putting them on. With spacers on the wheel nuts wont get enough turns on the stud.Is it possible to fit longer studs to accomadate this?

	Indeedy you can, and as said above it is advisable too. However, one thing to bear in mind is that you may end up having too many threads if you have closed ended nuts for your wheels. If your car came with bolts however then you should not have a problem .
