Default Long wheel bolt sizes?

I need long bolts to screw into a Strange 12 bolt, and also long front bolts (press in).

What size do I need?

Thanks.

Good question...

I know that ARP makes a replacement metric stud you could use on the front (that has the same knurl as the stock studs), but I don't know if they're available in longer lengths than stock.

As far as the rear, what size holes are drilled in your axle flanges from Strange? They may have used a stock size hole (if so, see above), or bigger. Do you have studs installed in it now? Usually, you specify stud size when ordering the rear. It can be a PITA to have the flanges redrilled for different studs. I know there isn't really anyone around here that can do it right (I'm wanting to step up to 5/8 studs now, for more strength and to eliminate the shank style lug nuts).

Here's the part number that any GM dealer should be able to get- 22551491 It has the stock dimensions except its 68mm long. Its the same on Lingerfelter(?) has on his site but MUCH cheaper. These will work for the front but I don't have a clue for which ones you'll need for the rears

Here's a pic of the rear ones using my stock rims

Thanks for the replies, guys. I've been told the Strange 12 bolts come drilled with 10 holes. 5 12 mm and 5 1/2". So it looks like I'll be going with 1/2" on the rear.

Damn, that's cool! I wish Moser had thought to do that on my axle flanges.

George, one more question. Just ordered from Jegs, but they don't sell open acorn lugnuts in 1/2" that I need to run my stock wheels. Do you know where I might find those?
