Does anybody make any kind of rear wheel studs for a 01 Dinli? I have a stock axle and 1 and a 1/2 inch wheel spacers with douglas 8x6 alum. rims. I need to have a set that is long enough to for me to change to a 8x8 inch rim. Need input. Any info is appreciated.

 

Team, I have a 01 T-Rex. What are you using to hold the wheels on the hubs at this time?
I made some studs out of 10mm x1.25 grade 5 bolts. The bolts were 4" long with about 1 1/4" of shoulder, I cut the head off and hand threaded about 3/4" of the shoulder. Enough to fill the threads in the hub. The grade 5 bolts are tuff on the die, you need to use plenty of cutting oil. I have 2.5" dura blue spacers on the rear.
My mini riders don't race or jump, trail riding and endless donuts for them.

I'm not understanding why you need different bolts for the different rims? Seems that whatever your using now should work with the wider rims. Are the 8x8 rims that much thicker in the center?

 

Im currently using grade 8 bolts 10x1.25 . Im looking at the easiest way to swap rims and tires. Right now it is a pain in the @ss to hold up the rim and the wheel spacer with the bolt in it and try to thread it into the hole. My son races this bike at the local track and depending on track conditions I use the taller 18x9.5x8 on the rear for a little more top end and I use the snow-hogs 16x6.5x8 to get some more bottom end off of the line. If i cant find any Ill have to find a way to make them maybe drill out the hubs on a press and go get some type of good quality nuts and bolts i guess. I am a pretty decent wrench but just dont have the time to fab anything I would rather just find a set buy them and be done with it. As far as the rims go the only diff is the offset of the rim.
