I'd like to re-visit this for a minute. Can anyone confirm that the Type R wheel studs are the same as a 1993 Civic?

It looks like the ARP studs (The part # is 100-7708. They are ARP100-7708 at Summit Racing -- "GM: Camaro, Firebird, Corvette, late GM, 12mm,1.5 thread x 2 1/2 in. long, .509 in. knurl diameter, wheel studs.") will fit the Integra Type R, but will these also fit the Civic with no problems? Knurl pattern and size especially.

Yes should fit, but if they don't you can always take the hubs to a machine shop to enlarge the holes. Note the need for an air gun and the fact that once these studs are installed, they cannot be removed from the hub. Hence knurl size is irrelevant.

why wouldn't you be able to remove them from the hub?

Good question. I'm thinking the same thing.

Quoting Mark Johnson directly from the web page: "Once you put them on you are stuck with them - as you noted the knurls is a larger diameter than the OEM."

Of course, I don't claim to be an expert, but what I'm reading from the above statement: CAN'T REMOVE STUDS ONCE IN THE HUB.

Make your own conclusions.

I think he meant that it will open up the hole slightly, making it impossible to put stock sized ones back in.

Well, I've been running these studs before they became public knowledge, and i'm sure they can be removed using a hydro press. maybe the hub might be altered and subsquently you wont be able to run stock studs anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't press new arp's in. I wouldn't worry too hard. these studs are way stronger than stock and I don't see any reason they would get messed up, unless something really stupid happened.
