Longer wheel studs

Anyone know from experience whats the longest stud that can be put in an atlas axle without taking apart ie removing rear brakes or half shafts and the like... will a 63mm stud fit?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure but I have a set of extended nuts that came with a set of wheels I bought, they go through the wheel and the seat is well back if that makes any sense ?

Of no use to me as my studs are long enough to use normal nuts, will post take a pic if you want to have a look see ?

I'm putting a set of cobra slots on and the current standard studs are barely flush with the bottom of the stud hole, I have sleeved nuts that actually go through the hole but the thin sleeved part is all thats holding the wheel on if you get my drift, need atleast an extra 10mm so the hex part of the nut is doing something and maybe another 10mm for a spacer to get the look right..

What I have for the slots



Are they what you mean by any chance?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think when I changed mine they were for 60+ mm. If I get a chance I'll whip a wheel off and try and measure mine then post it up on here. I needed extra long because I am using a 52" English axle for my +442.
