Hi,
I have registered but am waiting to be approved.
I have recently bought a 2006 L200 Trojan (last of the old shape) and am in the process of lifting and fitting new steel rims/mud terrain tyres.
After much p!ssing about with front brake calliper clearance i have found some 10mm spacers that give me clearance but now the studs are too short.
So i can buy some new longer ones... does anyone know the details of the standard length studs that are in there?... the truck still has the old wheels on so i can use it and really don't fancy taking it all apart to find out.
Thanks

Undoubtedly someone will make them, but I haven't seen them used on an L200, I have used them on mini's and on my Cossie, but I'm not a huge fan of them, even less so on a big heavy motor like the L200, that's potentially carrying weight, towing, or exposed to the stresses of off road driving.
TBH id either get the proper size / offset wheel or get good quality 30mm spacers with the integrated studs.

U can get longer studs but requires getting the originals pressed out and new longer ones pressed in. Proper all spacers would be better get 4 for 79 quid

I think I may have some longer studs (that need pressing into the hubs) but am a bit far from m garage at the moment to go and check for you, I shall have a look on my return

I appreciate the issues using spacers and longer studs could cause... But it's such a small spacer (10mm) and I'm switching to steel wheels (mush thinner), so they still sit on the hub rather than the studs taking the weight.
The short studs are fine with the oem alloys as the nuts kinda go into recesses in the wheel and can grab more thread... But with the new steels wheels the nuts sit outside the wheel offering less thread to grab hold of safely... Hope that makes sense.
Let me know if you do have any Krutly as I'm really struggling to find the correct spline diameter.
