studs and lugs (1 Viewer)

[BDSeff1fitty]

i just got my lug nuts in the mail today and they are to big. they slide right over the studs. i was thinking its probly a good idea to go ahead and replace the studs any ways, i had trouble getting the lugs off last week and a few look to be on the verge of being stripped. so can i go with a larger stud? or should i just get OEM size studs and get new lugs? also where can i get the studs from the cheapest?

You will need to use the same size studs as is already in the vehicle. The reason being they are pressed into the axle or wheel hub. i.e. they fit tight. I am soon to be shopping for longer studs to go on my rear axle soon. I have done a rear disc brake mod and am going to put on aluminum wheels. They are prolly twice as thick as the steel ones.<><

Nah, you still only need 24 of them!

Sorry, couldn't resist.
