Default weld draglites ??

I have a 2001 fbody; was wondering what length wheel studs should be used for stock brake system with 5/16 spacers on draglites... also where you all bought them

I just installed a set of Draglites on my 97 Camaro using a 5/16 spacer. I installed ARP 3.25 inch long studs from JEGS. There is about 1 to 1-1/2 thread exposure on my open end lugs.

I wouldn't use open end lugs. Use the closed end lugs if you're using the 2.5 inch studs. Using the 2.5 inch lugs you're not going to use the full extent of the lug thread engagement only about the length of the shank.

I have a 1997 Z28 Camaro with the stock front brake set up. I used ARP 3.25 inch long studs and 5/16 inch spacers along with open end lugs. I would only reccommend the 3.25 long studs for the front. I will be changing my stock rear studs to 2.5 inch long ARP studs next.
