ive had quite a few stock wheel studs break on me and want to upgrade. i plan on buying these extended studs

ARP 100-7701 ARP Wheel Studs

and these spacers

15mm HUBCENTRIC Wheel Spacers CB: 57.1mm 4x100 4x108 Audi BMW VW Saturn Dodge | eBay

seem like a good setup?

 

Do not get the 7/16 thread.. I fucked up and got them since an guy named mornoat on here said it would work, got them and the threads was to small to fit in our hubs and just spun and never got tight..

I even had to buy lugs for that thread size so ended up ******* myself good.

So go with an 12x1.5 thread man

 

the only 12x1.5 arp studs i can find are for hondas. would they fit?

 

Any studs with 12x1.5 will fit
7/16 wont work with the hubs trust me lol
I have 10 of those studs with 20 spline drive lug nuts in my garage. I found some studs at the autopart that were 12x1.5 that was longer then stock. I run 15mm but cant remember the part number for them.

 

i just dont wanna get ones that arent long enough

 

2.8 are long as fuckkkk i run 15 mm spacers and my studs are look half of the size of 7701's
I say 2.5 are good for 15mm

 

wow i just posted about this...so as long as i get the 12x1.5 threads im good????

 

Bump

I actually just bought the arp 100-7708 studs and the spacers. I'll let everybody know what happens

 

Look up the knurl size, you can get different size studs with the same thread. The Cobalt uses something around .470" I believe, haven't looked recently. You can go with an aftermarket stud that is larger, but you'd have to open up the holes in the hubs slightly.

 

do you have universal wheels? You should be able to use wheel spacers if you have wheels that are drilled for 8 lug, because where on normal wheels you need to cut your studs to fit, they will poke through the un used lug holes.

hope that makes sense, you should be able to use some 15mm wheel spacers, with the studs already built in if you have the spacing in the wheels.

 

The 7708's have been used by a few guys on here before. And after some reading it looks like the 2.5 inch studs should be plenty long enough for a 15mm spacer

 

The adapter style spacers aren't nearly as strong as the ones I bought

 

thats always true, if you got the money go for it!

 

Only 60 for all the studs and I only bought 2 spacers for now to make sure they fit

 

please put backs on first and take pics!!! haha I was going to do spacers but my tires are already really wide, if i went anymore than 10 mm or so id rub the fender.

 

I'm not low enough to worry about rubbing

 

i got my spacers today, im gonna put them on in the morning. they are from the link i posted, and the quality seems to be really good.
