putting in wheel studs and spacers. have a few q's first
I have some oem c5z06's and am going to install some spacers and studs so that i can get them to fit better in the rear in the wheel well. I have a few questions.
1. Will i need to pull the axles to successfully install the new wheel studs?
2. Will I need to buy new lug nuts after I put the new studs in even though I'm installing a spacer?
3. If you have or have know which spacer i should get please tell me. I'm torn between 1/4 and 7/16 spacers. I saw a picture of a camaro lowered with the same wheels with 7/16 spacers and like the stance.

idk about spacers. but you do NOT have to pull the exles to install the new studs just take off the brakes and rotors and use a hammer to beat the old studs out. then you put the new studs in by using a nut that fits over the new stud loosely and then thread on the lugnut and use a impact gun to pull it all the way through. its quite easy acctually.

I am going to subscribe to this thread...
The reason is bc I am going to be buying some OE C6 wheels 18x10.5 in the back and those have a +56mm offset and I think I need to run a spacer? 1/4"? And if you run a spacer you want to run longer studs to?
Also where do you get longer, good quality studs from?

well i had to notch my brake caliper bracket to get the longer studs in. I just installed them about 5 minutes ago. I installed 3.25 ARP studs. I can take a picture for you as well as give you the ARP length if this is the size you need. These will work with factory acorn style. If you will be using closed end then you need to measure them out and make sure that you dont need the 2.5 inch instead.

When i installed my ARP studs (100-7708) i pulled the axles, its actually VERY easy to do.. And besides, it gives you a chance to check out the rear, and change the fluid while your there.
Remove brakes/rotors
Pop off cover
Remove bolt holding paddle, and pull it out.
push axles in, and take out c clips
pull out axles, and replace studs..
Then reverse the order.

alright, already ordered the arp studs.
i was wondering if Mr. Gasket 2372 from summits site is the correct spacer for the rear. i wanted the 7/16th, but im wondering if these spacers are the correct bolt pattern. im pretty sure they are, but i was just double checking before i ordered.
