[Fot] Wheel stud

[Robert Lang]

 I totally agree - at the very least, you should be using 7/16"-20 studs. I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure that the TR6 stud knurl is the same or "close enough" to the Spitfire because one of the locals used to take my TR6 cast-off studs for his Spitfire. But if you need to play with whee spacers, look at the offerings from ARP. Totally worth the money. Get the bullet-nose style - they really help to avoid cross threading when you're thrashing to get the wheels on before a session. Not that THAT ever happens.

 Perhaps here it is best to Try  something different and way better...It seems your best option would be to upgrade to a larger wheel stud. The Stock OEM size ones you mention are not the best option for GT6ing 
A bit of searching for  a lhicker and longer wheel stud may give you better and more available options. A good machinist can’t help customize wheel holes or lug nuts.
Good luck. I’ve figured out a few custom lug but/ wheel combos this year using Common  stuff from Summit racing.
