Default Spidertrax wheel spacer question

Anyone out there have to replace a broken wheel stud in one of these spacers? Anyone know the size of these spacers?

Thanks for the help.

I believe they are the same size as your factory studs. Just punch the stud out and take it to an auto parts store.

Are you asking for the size of the spacers as in width? They make them in 1.5-1.75" for the JK. I have the 1.5" spacers on mine, but I've never had a stud break on one before(idk if you mean break off or get stripped), they are machined to be very strong. If one ever did break, I wouldn't try to replace to stud alone, I would just be safe and get a completely new spacer.

I was just rushing to get the lug nuts on in the rain and it was on a slight angle and stripped it. I punched it out and brought it to the auto parts store but they could not match it up.

i just realized that by saying "size of the spacers" what I meant was size of the studs. Sorry for the confusion. Been a long day.

Spidertrax sells replacement studs...

8. Wheel Stud & Lug Nut Replacement

I'd talk to them directly... Support ... I am certain you aren't the first person to strip a stud on these spacers.
