Longer wheel studs

heimue · 02-09-2008

Is there a source known in the USA for longer wheel studs? OGTS has only 5mm longer studs, and I'm looking for ones that are about 10-15mm longer than the regular ones. I found them in Germany at various sources, but would prefer to buy them in the USA. Summit Racing and JC Whitley have tons of them, but of course they don't list Opels anymore for fitment purposes.

Dieter;
Try asking Summit about fitment for mid 70's Toyota P/U. They use similar wheels studs but are longer. Summit may have a longer fitment for the truck.

On my last visit to Georgia, which only Gene was home, I noticed that there was a Summit Store on I-75 on the east side, if I remember correctly it was in Stockbridge or just south of there. That is the first time I have seen a 'speed shop' since the ol' muscle car days. If you took a stud with you and if they have any variety in stock, you could compare studs till you find the ones you want.
Sure did want to check out that little white Kadett, maybe next trip out we can try get together.

You all may already know about the store but with Gene in NE Atlanta and Dieter on the west side of Georgia, I kinda figured maybe you had not seen it yet, it was new to me.

Well, right after I replied to this I found one loose wheel stud and grabbed my dial calipers.

Overall length: 2.700"
Overall length from under flange: 2.500"
Thread pitch/diameter: 1/2" - 20
Spline diameter: .565"
Spline length: .400"

HTH. From what I recall, this was not a pure custom stud, but rather they pulled a production part from the assembly line and modified to meet my specs. I beleive it started as 3" long, but that was just too long for most wheels (protrusion).
