The wheel stud was upgraded a few years ago with this one that is a little bit longer. http://www.specparts.com/axl074-wheel-stud-longer

If the SCCA part number started with a 10 instead of the 2 that this one does it would be in the (free) category. Therefore the wheel stud is not free.

mvultaggio mvultaggio's Profile Still Learning to Type Posts: 31 Joined: Wed Nov 30, 2011 12:43 pm	Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 5:00 am I have two different length lugs on my car and it has always made me nervous. The shorter ones do not penetrate the lug nuts very far. Is it standard procedure to update to all long ones? Any downside or problems to be encountered. Seems easy enough to press out old studs and put in new ones. Advice appreciated. Mark #81 Dinosaur Racing

We do (actually whoever we got our studs from did it for us).

I think the original studs only allow 3 threads to grip on the Weld wheels. We always replace them when we do bearings on a car.
