help,...

every time i go to the Race Track,
taking my tires/wheels on and off,
and on and off,

eventually the Wheel Studs Break,
it is starting to happen every time.

WHO, WHAT PART NUMBER, WHERE
can i buy STOCK Size Replacement wheel Studs
that are a BETTER GRADE than the GM wheel studs.

for my All Stock 2000 SS Camaro?
thanks
and yes, i ALWAYS ALWAYS use a Torque wrench,
and i torque the Lug Nuts to 90 Ft/Lbs

Thank you

ARP wheel studs from Speed inc FTW! They will be longer but you can cut them down if it bothers you that much.

Here's a comparison of the stockers and the ARPs

Right from speed inc's site.

ARP100-7708 ARP Wheel Studs, 12mm X 1.5, 2.5" length $12.59

These are what i run. You will need to lop about a 1/4" off the end if you wish to put the decroative lugnut covers on though.

And as long as you dont have a goofy amount of spacers combined with thick hub rims like welds.... you wont have all the weight of the car riding on the outter most edge of the studs and they wont break lol

And they survived this:

MINE DIDN'T :)

i have ARP all the way around now.

i believe i have the ones tom mentioned, but i have the 3" version to fit through the larger hub drag wheels. they come 5 to a pack if i remember right.

i ordered them!

How do you get the New Studs into the REAR AXLE FLANGE,
the backing plate is in the way for the Longer Studs.
