longer wheel studs needed I bought some 1/2 thick wheel spacers since my 11" wide wheels are hitting the bumb stops and inner fender well.
The spacers I bought, however, need longer threaded wheel studs.
What size studs should I use?
Where can these be purchased?
Can I install them by removing the brake caliper and rotor?

ARP studs. The ones I used are only about 3/8" longer than stock. ARP does make a set even longer if you do a search. I'd go longer with 1/2" spacers...
Here's how I installed mine:

I just installed new studs front and rear. I needed spacers to clear my Z06 brake calipers and rear bump stops. I put 1/2" spacers on front and 3/4" on back. I installed 3.25" ARP's from Summit, M12x1.5. The front is easy. The rears required removing the anti-skid sensors, 4 channel set-up, to install the new studs. Not sure how to do a 3 Channel anti-skid.
With the OE 2006 Z06 wheels, the flange where the lugnuts go is rather thick. Installing the factory lugnuts, the studs stick through about 1/2" in front and 1/4" to 3/8" in back.
