Studs?
Slow? I think not! Slow is my SS (always wondered what those two letters were for) yukyukyuk
BTW, if anyone needs, I bought some longer than stock studs a while back (Dorman), they're about 2-1/8 " long let me know, by cell # 291-1328 I dont need them anymore. ( change of plans )

Where did you get these? If you still have them when I get there I would like to have a look at them. I am looking into going with Weld Draglites, but you must have longer studs with these wheels, but the shorter the better IMO. I think 3" studs on a street car look silly, but I may not have a choice.
If you're around when I meet up with Geoff and the rest of the guys, please bring them with you.

ttt For Guy.
GM part no is 22551491
The wheel studs went in without a problem. You WILL need to remove the wheel cylinders, and use that opening to feed the 3" studs though. You will not be able to get them in otherwise! Other than that I rate it a 3 Banana job on a scale of 1-10 Bananas!
You can get the lugs for the Centerlines at Ron's if you want, and re-use your stock lugs for the stock rims. The chrome caps will have to come off though. Or just crank them on like mine!

Thanks Geoff
How long are the stock studs? Is 3" too long? To use with the stock center caps & lugs? How much of the 3"stud sticks out from your Center line rims? Do they have shorter studs? I don't want to use too long of a stud. I really want to use the center caps on the GN rims.
Thanks,
Guy

I haven't tried to put the center caps back on. I don't see why it wouldn't work though, if you use the stock lugs. On the rear I just cranked the lugs on until they poked through the chrome cap on the lugs!
Derek bought 2.5" ARP studs from Ron's. I don't know if he installed them yet.
The long studs actually look pretty cool!

"NoNoNO Don't want holes through the NEW lugsDerek, Did you install your ARP studs? Can you still use the stock lugs and center caps with the 2.5 ARP studs?
Rob, I got the lugs so I have to use them. Thanks for the offer
Guy
I think I would rather look for a different lug rather than ruin them by making a hole in the end with the stud, unless you can find a longer than stock lug or one with the cover that you can remove But thats just my .02 (or whatever fell out of my pockets and ended up on the side of the seat this week )
