Extended Wheel Studs

[EClapp3]

Does anyone know the knurl diameter on our wheel studs so I can find some longer ones? I cant find any info on them except some stock for sale, but there is no specs on them.

I bought an OEM one from Kia to find this out. Looks like 12.83mm.

I got some with my spacers but haven’t installed them or the spacers yet. Does anyone know if you can get the new ones in without pulling the whole hub?

I haven't came across a vehicle where you have to pull the hub yet. Normally you can fenagle them in and out pretty easy. Just use a stack of washers when pulling the new ones in

well, i'm a bit concerned looking at the clearance between the parking brake shoes and the hub in videos, but I haven't popped my rear rotors off yet. If you're doing it soon, please let us know how it goes.

Honestly idk when I will do this. You will probably have to make sure you line everything up so you can hammer it out. My GTO has the same parking brake in the rear rotor hub setup and I didn't have an issue with those. Rotate the hub to the one spot where you have space and repeat with each stud. Does that make sense? Just be careful and pay attention to what's behind. Which you seem to not have a problem with. I'm sure you'll be fine.

well that's going to be a big nope. Not enough space between the rear of the spindle and the hub.

What about at an angle? Looks like you MIGHT be able to finagle it in then pull it through. Not sure. What studs did you end up getting? That doesnt look like an ARP stud.

 

[Snowwhite]

It didn't look like the angle would be enough to do it. they're blox studs that came with their 10mm spacers.

Remove the wheel bearing. It is more work obviously.

did you by chance ever get around to doing this?

Did anyone successfully run extended studs up FRONT? which ones work??

did you happen to measure and see if they were 12.83?

 

[djerickd]

would these work? they mention a 12.9 spline...

everything else lines up, they should be ok if 12.9 is the correct measurement for the splines.
