sorry if i sound like a *nooob* but I really like the look of extened studs but does it make any type of difference? is it hard to install yourself? if so where can i get it done at?

Post piX!! if you have it on your Cars!!! Thankx

 

Pretty hard to do yourself if you don't have a press. It can be done with grinding on the hub to be able to remove the studs out the back. But, the right way is to remove the hub assembly and take it to a shop that has a press and they can take hub off and press the old ones out and new ones in. Also, need to get a new wheel bearing if you want to do it right.

THe only advantage is that you should have them if you are going to run slicks at the track.

 

well they are used with slicks and if ur not gunna do so it seems useless and senseless, any machine shop with a hydro press can do it go ghetto n do it with a hammer haha..

 

There is a how to floating around i think in the Type R forum on how to do it with out a press but its a bitch.

And are you just getting the for cosmetic reasons? Personally i wouldn't run them on a DD cause ive read a few threads where the lugs have come loose on them.

Properly torqued lug nuts would not come loose any more easily on extended studs than stock studs.

But the main reason for them is so you can run spacers between the wheel and hub. If you don't use them, they are pretty pointless.

Thats what i figured too, but i read that some people went as far as to tack their lug nuts onto the studs. Maybe they just had shitty lug nuts or stripped studs.

you mean tack WELDING the nuts onto the studs? That's gotta be about the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

 

I agree. Ill see if i can dig up the thread, but i read it along time ago. It was probably done under weird circumstancees or somthing like that.

ya it is ghetto but I have succesfully changed mine before with a hammer!!!!

 

not on the top of my list of things i wanna do again, but i love how they look

Doesnt seem that hard, you just need to have the tools but the how to is a ghetto way fo doing it

its tack welding the studs to the hub. not lug nuts..

actually the main reason to install longer wheel studs is to allow the use of slicks per the NHRA rulebook.

 

thankx for the info Fellaz...... imma think about it.. probably still going to install them over the summer..

 

I have a set of ARP studs, that I was planning on doing, when I torq the lugnuts it feels like I'm only in a few turns... Doesn't feel safe to me

 

I will be using some arp studs and muteki lugs. Not because I will be using slicks all that much, but because I have had a few lugs bind up on the studs and break the studs when I was removing them. I have two broken studs right now, so since I will be replacing them anyway I figured I will use some good studs and lugs. It seems that a stronger stud and lug will have less chance of binding.

BTW - I'm sure that you could use an arbor press instead of a hydro press.
