Anyone have a good place to buy extended wheel studs? With my 1" thick rotors I'm not getting enough threads on the studs to be comfortable. Would like to buy studs about 1/2" longer.

Any help?

 

Something about using 1994 GSR rear studs since they're longer.....? There was a good topic a while back. Try the search.

 

i got the arp studs from summit racing 11 bucks for a pack of 5 they are 2.5 inches long the skunks are 3inches long but of a lesser tensile strength?
id get the arp the part number is arp-100-7708
by the way how long are the stock studs
thanks
chris

 

Just curious if the part number is the same for a 90-93 Integra? Looks like the shop I took my car to (to get the chamfered rotor screws torched out) cross threaded a stud and just blew it on with the impact. I had a hell of a time getting the lug nut off.

While I'm doing the brakes and fixing the stud, I may as well upgrade in case I may need to use spacers in the future.

Stock studs (measured out of hub inside shoulder to end of threads) = 37mm
94/95 etc GSR stud = 47mm

You could also get the ARP studs. 2 1/2" = 63.5mm. Be advised that the knurl is a bigger diameter than stock. If I remember correctly, the stock knurl is around .483. If you go to the ARP, you will need to drill out the hubs to 1/2". There are people they say just force them in. Hmm, can you say stress riser? How about stress crack?

 

Go to your local parts store and ask for a Dorman (manufacturer) 610-323 wheel stud. They are M12X1.5, are twice as long as the stock studs, have the same knurl size, and are about $1 a piece. Would you believe that these are actually over length replacement studs for many GM applications?

Or 86-89 Teg rears. 48 mm long vs. 39 mm for the stockers.
12mm X 1.5 Perfect for 1/4" spacer

I got my ARP extended wheel studs from http://www.summitracing.com

great customer service! great people to buy from! fast delivery!

good luck,

aj

 

AJ, did you drill out your hubs or force the ARPs in there?

 

I don't know. I only had them installed on the rear. So, I took the hubs off of the trailing arms from the rear discs and took them to a machine shop to get the studs pressed in. They didn't tell me whether or not they had to drill out the hubs.

here is a pic:





sorry about the huge pics.

take care,

aj

 

i'm not AJ, but i forced mine in awhile back and i havent had any problems, and I don't see any problems arising in the future. i think some people are over reacting. the hub is made of strong metal, and if it cracked that would be a real surprise. im actually glad that it's in there tight, if the stud starts spinning in the hub after the wheel has been tightened that's a very annoying problem.

 

That's what I was trying to remember. Thanks

 

Works perfect for me! Just remember to have some open ended lug nuts if you need to run a spare/steelie on the front.

 

i'm using Z-Speed wheel-studs.



Only had a problem with my old hubs (they spun).
