Default Front wheel stud replacement with ARP

Broke a front wheel stud. Will the ARP 2.5" ones go in without having to take the hub off?

Nope... and they require you to run an open lug. You must take the rears off no matter what studs you're using.

I'm about to rip into my car to put stock control arms back in, Pfadt coilovers, and Pfadt street sways. I'm gonig to press stock studs back in.

They're nice for a track car because the hardened studs don't stretch over time and break like the stockers will do if you put wheels on/off over and over and over.

I never knew that until I purchased a set to repl my fronts. Even ARPs website doesn't mention that, nor Summits. They are too long to go in without removing the hub, and are too long for my closed top lug nuts. Now if I ever have to have the hubs off, these will go on. I can live with the open lug nuts. For now, I just keep running a die over the studs.

Bummer. Has anyone considered cutting the ARP studs to stock length?
