Default Replacement wheel studs

Does anyone know where I can find replacement wheel studs for the rear of an 08. I believe they are .614 knurl. The problem I'm having is all the arp are 3" long and I think they should be 2.31". Should I just cut the 3" down ? Running open lugs is not an option.

Thanks guys

I know I replaced my lug studs last year... Not only was it a real pita but I used 04 gt studs in my 05 v6 because the knurl fit better

What knurl did you use? Was it the front or back

I cut a set of ARP's down for my Malibu and no problems. I just ran a lugnut on, cut the stud with a 3" cutting wheel, backed the nut off to chase the threads and was good to go.

It was the back and I cannot remember what knurl but I went to OReilly and the guy there told me to get the 04 gt studs, and 2 x 04 open lugs nuts to pull through and it worked and no one can tell by looking at it that they're different. I the 05 lug studs were too thick at the knurl to pill through I tried everything

I ordered mine via brenspeed. I sprayed some PB Blaster on the worn ones to loosen them up, tapped them out with a hammer. Used a stack a washers with a lugnut on the new stud to get it to pull through. You gotta take it easy cause I overtighened one and stripped the threads. Duh!!! LOL

Do you happen to know which ones you got from brenspeed? I have the ones from lethal and thy are going to be way to long. Do you have closed lug nuts? And you did the rear?
