I'm running 17x8's on the front with 17x9.5's on the rear. Hotchkis TVS, C5 front setup, 4th gen F-body rear coming soon.

Want to do new wheel studs from ARP or the like.

What size do I need or should I go with?

Thank you for any advice,

Donnie

Stuffing in 1/2" studs is easy enough but first check your wheels for required length. I ended up with some Ford studs to get the length I needed for good lug engagement over the Corvette rotor. I tried Astro van studs at first but they were way to short.
The studs I used had a knurl shoulder that was a tad to long and stuck up past the wheel mounting face on the hubs. I ended up drilling out the Corvette rotor so it would slide over that shoulder. It wasn't much but it will have to be done to the new stuff when replacing rotors.
