I have been searching everywhere for a place that sells them and i cannot find them anywhere. The reason I'm looking is because i have to run a 1/4" spacer on my front wheels so they dont rub. Do they even make extended thread wheel locks???

Correct me if I'm wrong but you want the actual lug to be longer so that you can get the lug nut on it.

You should be able to tap out the existing lugs on the wheel hub and replace them with longer lugs, though I would advise against it. But I'm also not a fan of running spacers.

spacers on non powered wheels isn't a bad idea, now on powered wheels that's just asking for broken studs and fender damage.

what kind of wheels do you have? im assuming drag wheels? if so you should be able to find the somewhere, i had a set but cant remember where i got them.

i know what your saying, like the sleeve on the nut sorta goes in the wheel to grab the threads so u dont need studs. hard to find, ive tried.

i bought a set of wheels from Tomzwheels they're 18x9.5's and 18x10.5's Z06's and they sent spacers for the front 2 wheels so they would clear everything. But the lugnuts are what Brice said its got a sleeve so it goes into the hole of the wheel, i'm up at college and they are at my house about 2 hours away otherwise i'd snap some pictures but i'll search around and see if i can one on the internet.

Can't you just run a longer stud?
