i need some extended studs for my front spacers and this and nismo are the only ones i can find, that arent insanely priced. Just wondering if anyone has heard of these, or knows how well they hold up.

Default ARP Wheel Studs at SPL

Here is another option for you. http://splparts.com/Parts/Universal/...es/default.htm



A friend of mine that is a road racer switched to these after snapping several stock wheel studs on the track. At ZCON this summer he snapped all five at once on the front passenger wheel and the wheel went flying off sending him off track and into the dirt. Luckily the damage was minimal.

Since switching to these he hasn't had any more problems.

i see that those ARP wheel studs are only offered in 12x1.5, nissans are 12x1.25, so... does this mean a change in lug nuts?

As quoted from SPL's website:
"ARP wheel studs are made from heat treated chromoly steel and have a 190,000 PSI tensile strength rating.

14.3mm knurl studs are 10mm longer (fits Z32 front, S14 front, Z33 front and rear)
13mm knurl studs are 20mm longer (fits S13 front and rear, S14 rear, Z32 rear)

Note: Installation of rear wheel studs on cars with ebrake assembly require removal of the wheel hub.

Requires open ended 12mm x 1.5 pitch lug nuts. We offer Gorilla spline drive open ended lug nuts for use with these wheel studs.

We sell the ARP studs in a package of 10 studs, with a regular 12mm x 1.5 nut to aid in installation."
