So I looking at getting some spacers for the rear of my after I get it lowered and get the Neon rears on.
So how do I figure the stud length I need. I know I need to factor in the spacers, the rotor, the thickness of the hub on the wheel (which Im not sure how Im going to figure this out), and the 12mm for the proper lug nut bite. Does it look like Im missing anything?
Im just cruising the Summit site. I looked up studs with the same thread pitch as ours. Is there anything I have to pay attention to such as the part that gets pressed into the hub? Is that what the knurl diameter is?
parts store carry longer studs in our format, i dont know why everyone goes for the fancy ones when they dont need to really. Go ask for teh Dorman book get the part number for the cavy stud and note the knurl and compare to the other 12x1.5 studs, there are about 2 other longer ones.

Thats what my friend was telling me the other night. He works at Advance.
Edit: The reason is because they dont have any that are much longer than ours stock. Ours are 41.6 mm IIRC. The longest one I could find was only 45mm.

arp p/n 100-7708
they have the proper knurl diameter and they are longer than the stockers. I did run into one problem with an aftermarket wheel bearing assembly I had in the front that had a larger knurl diameter but for the stockers, they should be correct.
ill see what i can find at work and let you know, the arp are nice but dont need a mile long stud, looks like ass.

Im kinda worried about that since I have closed ended lug nuts. And I do like my wheels to seat properly.
the p/n I posted should still be able to accept closed lug nuts like spline drives.
2.5" isn't that much longer than the stock lugs.
i'll try to snap a few pics of them on the car and a stock vs. arp lug (since i've got one set of arp's that aren't installed yet)
stock vs. arp f-body studs vs. arp evo studs.
Thats not too bad. I need to figure out how much I need spaced.

Is the P/N that you posted for the F-body studs strat?
