Default Wheel stud question....need longer ones

I need 1/4in longer wheel studs for my 2002 WS6...where can I order them from and what "size" should I order (I dont know the stock size or even how they are sized...so please dont say "just add 1/4in to what you have)? I need them to be around 1/4in longer than stock....not the long ARP ones that require open lug nuts.

If you know the answer and take a minute to answer I would really appreciate it! THANKS!

Buy ARP's and cut them to length.. other than that.. well I don't think there is anything else you can do.

specs for the studs on our car..

.509 knurl dia
.315 knurl length
M12x1.5

I have no idea how long stock studs are though.

Dorman is a fastener company that a lot of auto parts stores carry. Check their stuff, as I know they do make wheel studs.

Well damn, I was hoping I could just go to NAPA and thell them I need a wheel stud M12x1.5 Xin long and they would have a draw full...

Cutting off a set of ARPs maybe the route I take.

Again, go to NAPA, or any other local auto parts store, and ask if the carry Dorman wheel studs. If they do, see if there's a longer m12x1.5 stud in the length you want.

Robbie, I had to run longer studs with my 18x9.5 Ruffs and picked up the studs at Autozone. I had to go to a few stores since they each only had 3-5 at a location but hope that helps.
