So I need some wheel studs...

01MGGT · 11-07-2009, 02:48 PM

So I am starting to feel less and less safe with my stock wheel studs. Over time having the tires removed an reinstalled at shops and such or from the previous owners, the threads are getting pretty bad and it takes alot of work to get the lug nuts and my wheel spacers to go on correctly. I even had a ton of messed up lugs when I bought the car and have since replaced them. What is a affordable but durable replacement set of studs for all four corners? Where can I purchase them? How hard are these to install? This seems to be a uncommon discussion on the forums and I personally feel it's one of the most important. Especially considering most of us race and drive spiritedly.

01... how thick are your spacers?

I run a set of Moroso....? (forget the number off hand, but can PM me and will check when I get home) and are 3" long. I was able to run 1/2" spacers and just cut the thread starter portion off the rears and have a full 1" of threads per lug.

I run Moroso too but if I had more time to get what I wanted before the scheduled install of my new rear end, I probably woulda gone with ARP. You have to remove the axles when installing/uninstalling new wheel studs so maybe you should wait until you upgrade your whole rear end and do it all in one shot.
