Default Another Wheel Stud ? Tried Search

What length wheel studs should I get to run 3/4" spacers up front? My wheels have the corvette offset of 65mm and I would like to get the wheels closer to the fender lip. What studs wont stick out too far but will give me at least the required 6 turns of engagement?
Thanks guys

I would guess the 3" ARP studs, 3/4" spacers are pretty thick.

Then maybe the 2.5" studs? Unless you have Welds, then the 3" would be better. Where did you here that 6 turns was fine BTW?

The 2.5" ARP studs will be plenty long. With my 1/2" spacers, My studs stick out so much they BARELY fit under the usual chrome acorn lug nuts. 3/4" spacer is pretty thick, if you car is lowered, the tire may hit the fender lip.

I don't think I will have a problem with the fender lip because these wheels are 65mm offsets. A 3/4" spacer should put them in the ball park of 46mm which should be perfect unless my calculations are wrong.
