Default Wheel stud ?

Has anyone replaced their wheel studs with longer ones ? I'm going to need them for the wheels and spacers I am going to use.

Any tips on the rear wheels in particular, can they be replaced without removing the axles ?

Thanks

I don't have the answer to that but you might be interested in adapters rather than spacers.

How thick of a spacer are you using?

You now have a 716 stud...if you need longer go to 1/2 in. stud...IMO..Longer studs will be hard to replace without removing the axles....

I replaced all my studs with longer ones a month ago. These are the studs I used.

ARP Wheel Studs...

The fronts are really straight forward to change. The rears require you to drill a hole in your dust shield in order to get the longer studs in.

I have 3" long 1/2" studs from moroso. You need to redrill the hubs for oversize holes as the knurl is a good deal bigger.
