standard or longer studs for 7 and 8x15 wheels

[Chris Pomares]

I'm putting the rear suspension together for a 69E with RS rear flairs. The car will have 7 and 8x15's and 205, 225 tires. I'm not sure if I'll need a longer stud length and spacers for the proper fitment or can I say with standard length studs. Any input would be helpful.

I use 7 and 8 by 16's with normal studs. I am pretty sure you will be ok on stud length with any Fuchs unless you start putting spacers in (which you need for certain combinations).

The standard length stud in the 69 will be just fine. Those studs are longer than the ones that came standard in your 67.

RS's have a 7 mm spacer at the rear wheels.

Only for the 7X15s when they are used in the rear...
The 8s don't need them. Or in many cases, won't tolerate them.

Good point Harvey, I never took them of and the 8's with 225/50/15 tires do fit nicely.

Kind regards,
