ARP Wheel Studs Question.. I got them for the back and put them on my axles, but am a bit confused abotu something..why won't a stock lugnut or my ones for my prostars go one these things more than a few turns by hand, then they stop..its like they are not the right thread. I haven't tried the lugs that came with my coddington rims i use for the street but i would think they' have a problem,too.
I believe the package said 12X1.5 for these studs..
I haven't pressed the studs through yet, gonna do that when I put the 9" back together this week so I couldn't try turning the lugs on more with a wrench, but I assume they should have spun on by hand just like they would on the stock studs.
Any info here would be appreciated..if I got the wrong studs(Speed Inc had them in stock, its the ones they give everyone far as I know) or need different lugs now for some reason let me know..

When they are new they tend to be a little tight, after a couple times on and off they will spin on and off pretty easy, if they werent mispackaged or anything like that you should be ok. I have the 12mmx1.5 ARP studs both front and rear. No special lug nuts needed except if you dont use spacers on your welds you wll have to use open end lug nuts. Most closed end nuts arent threaded far enough inside.
