stock studs
stock studs my stock ones dont come through the lug nuts, im running ss wheels now same problem, they seem to only go onto the stud about 4 turns its kinda scary, is there a stud that is about 1/4 longer then stock that has the same thread as the stock lugnuts so i can swap them all out?
Best option are the ARP's which are 2.5" or the longer 3.25" in length. There are other studs available but they are the exact same thing as stock. I guess you you need to buy the ARP's and cut them down.
yup.. I have the ARP 2.5" ones on my car. Same threads and accept stock lugs.. the only difference is they are longer, much stronger, and threaded all the way to the very ends.
PN 100-7708 12mm X 1.5, 2.5" long
pn 100-7713 12mm X 1.5, 3.5" long
Here is the pic of the 2.5" studs on my car with a 3/8 spacer for my front runners.

Verdad Gallardo With prostars if you have a thick enough spacer you will not have to grind at least we didn't on my buddies car. I got my hands on some of the Summit racing prostar knock offs for cheap (heavier by 3.5lbs than Weld prostars). The summit stars fit just barley fit with a 1/4" spacer although I decided to run a 5/8 just to be sure it all cleared when I changed the front brakes. I didn't grind my calipers at all. In the above pic I had just started to sand the surface a little to clean them up because I painted them.
the proper way is to take the hub off and have them pressed out and new ones pressed in but..
I didn't on my car. I just pounded one out with a hammer and used a spacer I had around to take up some of the gap and threaded a nut onto the stud. Then I used an impact gun to tighten the nut until the stud was fully seated. I know its probably not the best way to do it because the hammering puts stress on the hub and pulling them on with a nut can cause stress on the threads and such but I've done the exact same thing all my other cars and never had an issue.
