Anyone interested in my nuts!? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

sperry · 2004-02-11, 02:16 PM

I'm thinking about installing some 2.5" wheel studs, since I'm going to have the hubs apart for the bearing install. Unfortunately getting some longer studs in the Subaru/Nissan 12mm x 1.25 threading is retarded expensive, so I'd be going with some cheaper ARP 12mm x 1.5 threaded studs (same size used by pretty much everyone but Subaru and Nissan).

What this means is that all my lug nuts will no longer fit on my car!

I've got a set of flat black, open ended, 19mm, Duralmin lugs (as sold by SubyDude for $75 shipped), and a set of chrome 21mm lugs (that had some thread damage that I've since cleaned up with a tap).

I'd let the Duralmin's go for $40, and the Chrome's for $25.

I'll also have a set of stock lugs, and a bunch of used studs, but I'm not sure how much to sell that stuff for...
