I am trying to locate some longer wheel studs and I am having quite a bit of trouble. I was just at a website recently that gave part numbers for longer wheel studs that used honda style threads and they were cheaper than nismo studs. I need help bad because I just installed coilovers and I need to install wheel spacers to prevent contact with my front wheels.

I too have the same problem but because I just bought wider wheels. I havent found any other brand besides NISMO at the moment.

Well, I got the problem under control now. You can buy some ARP studs to fit a late model camaro from either JEGS or a local speed shop and they will fit perfect. The only thing you need to change is the lug nuts use a slightly different thread pitch (M12x1.5 vs. M12x1.25 stock) You can also get these at a local speed shop too. I got everything I needed all at my local hot-rod store. The studs run about $12 for a 5-pack and the nuts vary by design ( I have to use tuner lugs for my wheels so they are a little more expensive than normal ). These new studs are pretty long so you may need to trim them like I did but a good cut-off whell will do the job.

Hmmm I did find out that the front hubs of the 95 and up 240sx and 300zx are differnt that the S13 so I may be out of luck. But I will look into it more.

Well, the only difference is that you have 5 lugs instead of 4, but they use the same stud so you are still ok

s14 studs in the front are different then the s13, they are slightly larger in width. If you want proof go to courtesy nissan's website and look at the nismo studs there. I cant remember exactly but i believe FD RX7 work and are longer but try and search it for an exact answer

Would you be able to give me the year or part number of the camaro studs that you got? I been looking all over the place for an alternative.
