Default Wheel studs

Anyone have a good source for extended length wheel studs? Want to stay with the stock C4 metric diameter but need something longer.

Thanks

There are several sources for high strength / longer wheel studs. You might try Doug Rippie Motorsports - forum vendor. Also check out ARP - American Racing Products / wheel studs. They are available through a lot of vendors such as Summit Racing.

You can try your local Chevy or any GM dealers parts counter and get these:

I'll be replacing all the studs on my C4 over the winter using the ARP studs. I have been using generic lugnuts as I can get them pretty cheap thru my shop.

But is there any reason to use hardened or higher grade lugnuts? Is there something like a lug nut in metric grade 10.8? I've never had a problem using stock lugnuts for autocross (aftermarket ZR-1 wheels and A6's) and occasional track days.
