I have bs street lites (15x10 15x4) and need longer studs. What are my options? Will I need to pull axels? Is it common to run shorter up front and longer in rear? Stock 10 bolt btw...

 

you dont need to pull axles. ARP sells a set of hardened (longer) ones for $12.95 for a set of 5

 

How can you install the ARP's in the rear without pulling axles? I tried to do this, but they were too long?

 

I have a 9". Maybe it is different for the 10 bolt?

 

Not sure it can be done without pulling the axles. I had to pull mine but Im running a 12bolt and had 5/8th inch studs put in.

If I were to do it again, Id stick with 1/2in studs. Good luck.

 

Bump so I am going with arp 2.5 up front and 3.25 in rear. Can I get a definate answer on pulling axels or not?

 

I'm gonna say yes yourgonna need to pull em. I had to when i put longer studs in my 9". I was able to get the old ones out but the new ones were too long to get in. You won't have to take em all the way out just far enough to get the new studs into the axle. Hey at least it'll give you a change to check the wear of your gears and do a fluid change!

 

Sounds like way to go wish I figured this out before I had just put 4.10 in filled it up and the car has 1 diveway distance on it.

 

i didnt pull my axles in the rear, just shaved a lil off the rear and u can sneak em in.

btw ur prolly gonna have to run a spacer in the front correct? if so u r gonna need 3" studs in the front.

i run 3" in the front and 2.5" in the rear i believe. (3" in front because of the spacer)

 

So Im about to do the fronts. Do I just press them out and press the new ones in?

 

I have a small spacer in the front and the studs come out to the end of the lugs. Arnt the stock studs 1.5 inches all around so then 2.5 would b good for front

 

u got it big guy!

hey if it works for u it works. i tried 2.5" all the way around and the tech director at New England Dragway made me go longer in the front. now my fronts r longer then my rears and its wicked noticeable with my street wheels on it sucks... but if u can do it then all the power to ya

I posted up some pics a while ago, this is on a stock 10 bolt. Hope this helps...

 

thats exactly what i did to make the rears fit without removing the axles.

 

On the 10 bolt:
If you have 4 channel abs then you can slide the lug stud out threw the abs sensor.
If you have 3 channel abs, you will have to pull the axle.
If you pull the axle out then you can knock all the studs out at one time (thats what i did).

The 2.5" studs are for people that want to run street wheels with hub caps
For the 3.25" studs some tracks require stud to stick out passed the lug nut.

 

Ya pretty simple job, did it last night.

 

How long are the stock wheel studs front and back?
