Thats dope!

Is it true that the ARP studs are harder to install because they are a little bigger than the stock ones?

 

Always want to go arp when it comes to bolts

this coming from a guy with skunk2 lug nuts

bigger or longer?? if it was bigger than, how will it fit into your hub then yo *hammer on the head* (since i cant seem to find that icon).. just need the hub puller, if you wanna buy you can, or just go to autozone kragen pepboys and borrow. you give them money and they give money back when you return the item. (just in case if youre gonna ask bout that but i assume you already know)

didn t know you could borrow tools

 

yup you can but you gtta what the item is worth.. so that if you decide to keep ot you can or you can return it and get your money back

 

i know you can borrow tools but what is the tools called to do the job besides the hammer?

 

just so you know the longer the studs are the easier they can break off

If you say hub puller.... They probably wont know wtf your talkin about.... Speaking from experience.

 

three years strong on my skunk 2 studs

 

i say hub puller and they know im talking about.................................

 

I'm a Skunk2 ***** but to be honest one of them broke already and had to be replaced so I would suggest the ARP.

 

any kind of bolts go with the ARP

 

what ever you use make sure you use anti seize and torque them properly and you are good

 

ARP

 

I have ARP and love em. On the other hand I know people who have had bad experiences with the skunk brand.

 

ARP
can't go wrong.....

 

skunk2 studs suck...they spin...you gotta spot weld them...

Go ARP

 

sry to jack, but ive never really looked up extended wheel studs, but whats the purpose of them? are they used if you need spacers??

that's one reason...but it's the least reason why you need to use extended wheel studs...

Main reason that they use them is for safety. Think about it, if your lug nuts come loose on an extended stud, it'll take a while for that lug nut to come off the thread since they are longer. Compare that to a stock length stud...well, you get the idea

 

Trust 'em with your engine, trust 'em with your wheels. ARP....cant go wrong.
