Question:
I have a 2018 Ranger z521 sitting on a Ranger Trail trailer. I am installing new wheels on the trailer with a half inch wheel spacer so I need lug studs 1/2” longer than my existing. Can you tell me if this part will fit my hubs? I have attached some pictures of my existing studs that are 2” long and have 1/2-20 threads.

Hey Joe, thanks for reaching out!
Based on what you’re describing, the DeeMaxx Drive-In Wheel Stud # DE53GR is going to be a great fit for your setup. At 2-1/2" long, it gives you that extra length you need for the spacer without running into any issues.
The knurl size (the part that presses into the hub) matches what you currently have, so it will seat properly and hold securely in the hub.
That should give you a solid, confident fit with your new wheels and spacer setup.
When's the first launch of the year?
