Looks like I'm going to need to space out my diamond racing wheels a little bit to get them to clear the inner fender in the rear. So, I'm in need of some longer wheel studs.

I know the thread pitch is 12x1.5mm and have found a couple options, but they're pretty pricey at about $7 per stud.

Just wondering if any racers out there have any better/cheaper alternatives.

 

For the rears you can use late model camaro studs, should be less than $1 each at you local auto parts warehouse.

For the front you can use a thread in wheel stud on a formerly lug bolt car, like so:

Wouldn't camaro studs be press-in? And aren't the rears screw in, like the fronts?

I'm also not sure that 2.25" is going to be enough length for me. I'm going to have to space the wheels out at least a 1/4".

 

You can use thread in studs in the rear as well I just assume everyone else has stripped lug holes and it's not just me

Those ones I linked are available in longer length, but if you do a little measuring you will find you probably don't need any longer than 2.5"

You can get screw in wheel studs from Mazdatrix for pretty cheap. http://www.mazdatrix.com/j-1brake.htm 2.25 inch.

You can also try any performance shop in your area. They should be able to get some a lot cheaper than $7/stud.
