Try summit racing. they have them for the Supra TT so it should fit on our GS without a problem. They are made by ARP too.

You might have some luck with our vendors.

You should go here bro,

http://www.allensfasteners.com/

this is where I ordered mines and its probably the friggin cheapest website to order from. Due to my experience.

Just search up ARP wheel studs, its the IS300 studs in the drop down selection about 25 a pack which works for our 2GS thats what I have on mines, but you said you have 5mm spacer so I think these might be too long or it can be good long for your next spacer playings.

I ran stock studs on 5mm spacers before no problem.

Good Luck!

ARP studs will work fine. The ones that come with the Ichiba spacers don't fit anyways so don't feel like you missed out.

Why don't they fit? I have 45mm extended studs on my rear hubs from Ichiba and they work fine.

you do know that you will need a impact or a press to install the studs right? it needs to be pressed in.

The splines on the studs are too large for the holes in the hub.

I am aware of how to install them, however as mentioned above the splines on the studs were too large. They were shearing off as the stud was pulled in which shouldn't be happening for one but it also prevented the stud from seating correctly. In order to get them to fit I had to take a dremel tool and grind down the splines on each stud so they would fit into the hub.

I brought this issue to the attention of the vendor and I'm not the first person with this problem. Maybe they have poor quality control or maybe Chrispy just got lucky or maybe they had to grind his down as well but either way I would go with a quality part that actually fits such as ARP for this application.

My Ichiba studs fit without problems. They were a slight press fit like the OEM studs and had no metal shavings coming off. I was able to get them on with just hand tools. Ichiba do have the tendency to ship out the wrong stuff from time to time so it's not surprising Hell they've even shipped out incorrect lengths with the wrong pitch.

It's possible that I got a bad set, the length and thread pitch were ok just the diameter of the splined portion (the part that presses in) was too large. Not just a little bit too large but enough that I had to grind them down to get them to press in, without grinding them they were shaving material of the splines like a banana peel. While this may not be common I mentioned it to the vendor and he said that it wasn't the first time that customers had brought this to his attention. Either way, I would go with ARP studs so you know you will get the right thing the first time.

Ichiba truly seems to suck at inspections. When you're buying Ichiba spacers, you're actually gambling on whether you're going to get the right parts or not.
