Default Will these wheel studs work on my 01 SS?

I'm searching for a cheaper alternative to the 3.25" ARP studs. I'm putting prostars on the front with a 5/16" spacer. It just pisses me off that the 2.5" ARP studs are $13 and for a measly 3/4" more they charge $30. It seems like the ones in the link are the same size, will they work?

I don't know if I would necessarily want to use the "cheaper alternative" for the parts that keep the wheels on the car.......Just my $0.02 worth.

I knew someone would say that. The only reason I'm considering these is because they are for the fronts. No torque is being transferred through them or anything. $6 apiece for the ARPs is just such an assrape.

I am in line with leadfoot, that's not a place to 'cheap out'.

Besides when you start pulling the front wheels up and bouncing em down you might be glad you coughed up the few extra bucks.

Theoretically, it's a "one time" expense. I'd go with the ARP studs and be safe....
