Help ID these wheel studs!
Help ID these wheel studs! Ok guys, the rims I got (Y2K's off a 2001 SS) wouldn't fit with my stock short wheel studs, so we put in the guy's "stock" ones and they work fine, but he could only find nine of them.
I go to any autoparts store and tell them I need a factory wheel stud off a 2001 SS and none of them look anything like these;
The heads on the studs say Metric M6177, we tried looking up that part number, but nothing.

Those look like the stock ones too me. Stock ones have the part on the end with no thread to help you start the lugs. Any that you will get from auto parts store wont have that. As long as they are 12mm x 1.5 they are what you need.

Well, I finally got it out and brought it up there, got one that works even though it didn't have the flat end on it.
But heres the catch;
Got the new one in fine, tightened it up against the back side by putting on the lug nut, all is good there.
Go to do it on the one I just took out to bring up there and it frickin strips the inside of the hub, theres no more grooves anymore...all flat.
Some guy at Home Depot (went there to rent a grinder to get the stud back out) told me I could buy a slightly bigger one and just shove it in there...
Will that work or do I have to buy a whole new hub or whatever?
Or just be ghetto and drive around with 4 wheel studs?

you should have bought two new ones. The grooves on the old one are pressed down and makes it loose in the hole, I have changed out my wheels stud a couple of times and the stud had never been loose.
