      Looking for a Good Stud

      What wheel studs are you guys using for your wheels? 7/16 or 1/2 inch. Which is more common.

      If your going to big brakes or big wheels, 1.2" studs may be required, or at minumum a good idea.

      Thanks guys for being easy on me.... The title could get us going in the wrong direction for sure. But on the serious side, if I use 1/2 studs will my wheel choices be limited? Also, do they make a stock front spindle for 67-69 camaros with 1/2 studs or with I have to take a stock spindle and put in 1/2 studs? Maybe it's not that much of a big deal.

      look into the wilwood brake kits. With my falcon they came with a new hub and utilized 1/2" screw in studs. I have ARP studs.

      Hey Tony, The Wilwood kits you are looking at will come with 1/2 studs. As far as wheel choice. No it will not limit you in your selection. most custom wheels use a 60 degree conical seat that will accommodate a stud size of up to 1/2" The lugs seat and center the wheel no matter the wheel stub size.
      Jim will be in contact with you today with the pricing you requested.

      ARP has a decent line up, we drill axles for drag racers and they like the products.
