Default need info on wheel studs

does anyone know the length of the wheel studs on the gs and what other oem makes/model studs are the same size but longer?

i'm planning to put some spacers 8mm front and 10mm on the rear and need to replace my current studs to make this happen. i don't want to resort to aftermarket studs unless they are extremely high quality.

thanks.

I tried putting 5mm spacers on my car with the stock studs and I could barely get the lugs to catch. So I just bought a set of H&R spacers and they came with the correct length studs. I don't remember exactly what the length are Sorry.

I thought the H&R studs were of high quality? That is why I went that route. If you are not going to be racing or drag racing I would imagine they should work just fine.

I'm gonna get a set of ARP racing wheel studs. They're made of the chromoly steel just like their famous engine head studs. They're very very strong. Just hop onto the Summit Racing website and look up which set has the length you want.
