Wheel studs

Has anybody sucessfully pressed the .509" knurl ARP studs into stock 10 bolt axles? Or should I go with the .486" ones?

Still need an answer?

I haven't but I don't see why not...just drill the stud holes out to .500" and press the ARPs in. If you don't want to drill, use the Dorman studs and you'll be all set.

Yes I have them front and rear. The .509 are the ones you want. Just pull them through with lugnuts directly against the axle flange- I did not use a lugnut more than twice because it puts alot of pressure on the threads and can risk stripping the new studs. When done, use all new lugnuts to mount wheels- throw away any used to pull the studs into the axles or rotors.

I used ARP 12mmx1.5mmx 2 1/2" long-.509 knurl from Summit Racing. No drilling required.

Note: check the Wilwood rear disc post, you'll see pictures of the ARP studs there- https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=216339
