Extended Wheel Studs
Hey guys i need some help.
I have a set of 17x8 +45 offset fron rims and i have 20mm spacers.
I was wondering if any one had information as to where i can find extended studs that will fit.
Detailed information much needed/appreciated...
Thanx Steve

ARP studs for the last generation Camaro/Corvette, get the 3.25" ones for the front and that should be enough, the rear might be ok with the 2.5" ones, but I doubt it, the 3.25's are your best bet, to be safe, as it'd be a shame to have them not give enough thread engagement after all the effort of swapping them in. I've got 3.25" in front and 2.5" in the rear and I get plenty of thread using a 7/16" spacer (~11mm), but I couldn't say for sure that it's enough for a 20mm in the rear. At worst you'll have to use ET style lug nuts.
Or you could just go with bolt on spacers with intergral lugs, that'll be a lot easier, since doing the rears means taking the hubs off and replacing the bearings which requires a press. If you factor in labor and the cost of the studs the extra cost of the bolt on spacers is made up.
