Looking to run my car this weekend , I understand it's a track rule to have extended studs , My track doesnt inforce that . My question is will the 13" lenso Wheel/Slick work with factory studs on a 92 Civic? All brake components are stock ... I have ARP Studs just have not had a chance to get them installed yet. Thanks guys.

 

I ran stock studs all last year with 13" Lenso's, so yes they will work but I would look into putting the extended studs in asap. I wont run my car this year without them

 

What model is your civic? I'm almost 100% sure civic models that came with 13's have shorter studs than like ex/Si's. my dx studs were barely long enough to run a set of 99-00 Si's. the lensos will probably work, but definitely get your extendeds on soon.

 

you need studs running a slick, tracks require it

 

Ran my 92 Si with lenso's, stock studs for the last few years

 

Since you already have the ARP extended just go ahead and put them in.

 

It doesn't take more then an hour to install all the studs. It's really easy. I wouldn't understand why you wouldn't install them

 

Make sure you tack weld those things!

 

Tack weld? Never did that on my car. Never head a problem with over 50 track passes and 1500 street miles.

 

I've also never heard of tacking the studs, not to say that it's a bad idea though. I do however replace hub bearings while doing wheel studs.

 

Haha. Well I've seen 1 in 10 cars that didn't need tack welds. I've always done it to all of mine and everyone I know has always done it to theirs.

 

i tacked welded mine for extra insurance

 

Just did my extended studs for my lensos for this season. I replaced my bearings at the same time. Upgraded to a DSS 3.9 setup, and they had the short stud in them. I actually went with the late model GM 12x1.5 stud because it has the larger diameter knurl. Had to press them in. No welding needed on those.

 

I used the 80's camaro extended studs the knurle is a touch larger and they lock in perfect

 

My dss 5.9's are gonna need tack welds. Like all but 2 studs came loose after dyno time. Just keep an eye out on that

 

You'll be fine running stock studs and lugs with lensos. I've ran the same setup on 3 different 11 second setups with hundreds of passes. Not one issue. Also if you don't need to tack the studs, don't. Swapping slicks every weekend you'll go through studs and having one break and having to grind a weld off sucks.
