I need some extended wheel studs for my '90 F/B. Some fukk up stripped these ones out from before i bought the car, and now i need new ones. I have the Skunk2 ones right now on there, and the part number is 524-05-0835 but their website says it's for Hondas only. I don't think it should matter, since they work, but i just don't know if that may have been the cause. Also, I don't really WANT to spend the $90+ S/H for these if I don't have to. I'm just using this as a street car...nothing high horsepower or anything. I have an aftermarket set of 17"s on it, but I'm just not sure if they will work with stock wheel studs or not.

Anyways, please help me with finding a brand similar (they don't have to be performance or anything, just decent.)

Another problem with the Skunk2's is they have to be spot-welded into place, they're not threaded:mad: :mad: :mad: so i'd like to find some that don't HAVE to be welded at all, something I could personally change at home

Wheel studs in general are not meant to be threaded in place, they are generally pressed in.

Usually you just get them pushed part way through from the back of the hub, then put a lug nut on and tighten it down, which will slowly pull the stud into place on the hub.

If you're looking for extended studs, projectsilvia.com has 50 or 60mm studs for about $7/each. Another option would be the nismo ones.
