	Hi My Hijet van keeps breaking wheel studs, I think its because the mounting surface on the alloy wheels is thicker than the steel wheels leaving the studs to short, My question is can i fit longer wheel studs from another car? (they are the same thread as Fiesta ones which are available in different lengths) But i`m unsure if they will fit in the hubs correctly Thanks Adrian

	you need to remove 1 and measure the shoulder part of it (accurately) then have a look on ebay

	....and whatever wheels you have fitted are hub-centric? i.e. the weight of the vehicle is being borne by the spigot on the hub rather than the studs? A friend's car broke a wheel stud when he didn't bother with spigot rings for his aftermakret wheels.
