Need longer wheel studs!

Anyone have a link or a supplier of wheel studs that are about 1/2" longer than stock. With a correct knurled area so it will "press" in. No loose lugs for me!

Come on, Rishie. You sold me these damn things, don't leave me now! You have'nt run into any problems like this before? I'm not even sure it's really an issue. I'm getting almost 1/2 in of threads on all 5 lugs it's just I'm not sure about when I go to the track and run stickies. Somebodies got to have some answers out there.

The GM metric studs from ARP will work, but the knurl is not the same as stock.&nbsp This is about as "economical" an option you can get, since the only other option is to get a custom set made...

The ARP ones work great they are about 1" over stock but you could make them shorter if you had to. I use them on my racerFC with sometimes up to 1" of spacer.

Thanks, I'll look those up.

Sometimes I feel it's very hard to get good advise from this forum. Everyone just wants to know if they can put S5 tail light on their S4. And which rims look cool.

SpeedSource sells a set specifically for the 2nd Gen cars (I assume they would fit an FD also). They are not mentioned on their website but you can give them a call and find out more information. I have them on my car and they are LONG.

so, are you saying that the GM metric wheel studs will not pull thru the stock FC hubs? is that what i am to understand.

i only wanna run about 10mm of spacer up front... nothing outrageous, but i dont want to have to worry about the lug nut engagement
