alot of members on this board will tell you ARP's are the way to go. I've had mine on my car for 2 years now with no issues at all.

on my last chasis 90 si i had arp's they are easy to install well i have a 89 hf now and i had to chage the hubs i had a set of 90-93 integra laying around so i threw them in so i could do my swap and they are alot harder to put the wheel studs in and i am running 13x8 rotas with m&h 13x9 slicks so i am trying to figure out if i need to put them in now or can i procrastinate and wait till i have to i am only running a 11.8 right now and my stock studs stick out past the nuts so i am just curious

how fast do you run? I'd almost recommend putting them in now. but it's really gonna come down to whether or not your techs at the track are ****** or not about it. if you're lucky, they wont care.

Is it possible to run regular studs on say Lensos? Although I guess you run the rusj of not being allowed to run at the track?

yeah wheels like lenso's or rotas. are like regular wheels so you can run regular lugnuts, its just all dependant on your techs at the track.. I know with my bogarts, the center of the wheels are so thick you couldn't run stock lugnuts with them.

my friend has had to take a lugnut off his car to show the tech that the stud stuck out far enough (closed end) on a street car with street tires

go ahead and spring for the 1/2" studs also, you wont have to worry about them bending. Yes they do bend if you run slicks

the smaller studs tend to bend backwards when you launch on slicks. The looks twisted and can break.
