I don't know if the studs are the same, but on the 5 lug FC's you can use ARP studs for Corvettes. They're available in 2.5" and 3.25" lengths.

You got some more info on that? Or possibly a link?

Those are the ARP ones, but are more expensive than other places like Summit Racing. ARP part numbers: 100-7708 for the 2.5" ones, 100-7713 for the 3.25" ones.

Thanks man! These would be good ones, right? ARP is a well known brand. Front and rear is the same, right?

Well if you use the 2.5" ones in back it gives just under 1" longer studs, and the 3.25" ones in front give just over 1" longer studs. That's the combo I'm currently using. I think they're a pretty good brand, as you said, well known and I don't think I've ever seen anything bad written about them.

Yes, I'm using them and they work just fine.

had a dig around and the ARP 100-7719 look to be closer to spec of the studs i took out, plus i only need 8 not 10, these are listed for a miata so i guess would be the same.
