I'm a firm believer in the ARP extended lugs, but some customers want a closer to stock, or less expensive option. My experience with lugs has been if you're careful, don't over torque them, clean them with a bit of PB Blaster and a harbor freight nylon brush they will last a long time, and many wheel changes. I've yet to break an 86 lug, (have done a few replacements for customers,) and have only broken one on another Subaru. That was enough to learn the value of clean threads, and how cheap a bit of PB Blaster and a zillion HF brushes are. I wish the NISMO extended lugs were a more cost effective option. I see very little value in them over the ARP's when the price is so close.

They're more expensive than I remember but they fully cover the extended stud and are 3/4" socket size so no being annoyed with a key.
45028BC-20 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There are also Dorman studs which might fit the bill for someone not wanting to spend ARP money but I don't know if they're any better than stock. Should come up by just googling 'dorman stud brz' autozone carries them... |

I can vouch for these Dorman wheel studs. After 3 seized lug nuts across 2 wheels within a couple weeks time, I had enough and I was not paying the dealer to replace studs a second time. They are the same size as OE but are grade 10. I added new Gorilla lugs at the same time and I haven't had any lug/stud issues since. Totally worth the afternoon I spent swapping them out.

And I just switch to the Muteki's. I think stressed wheel studs and dirty threads are what caused the failures on mine.

IIRC you can do stock length studs without pulling the hub, but the full length ARP's need the rear hubs out. Fronts are easy with the rotors off.

I'm remembering the torque stick now. It's a distinct possibility. Maybe I'll just have the tires mounted from now on, and install them on the car myself.

Glad I ran into this...
Tried taking off a rear wheel yesterday to prep for a track day, and while unscrewing two lugs, they started to cross thread. I tightened them back up for the time being but am pretty sure they're going to snap their studs trying to get them off. Annoying because I'm pretty careful on install/removal so this sort of thing doesn't happen. From what everyone has said, I'm going to go with ARP studs. |

http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/h-r-...l#.XREEhOtKiUk I've been running these wheel studs along with the aforementioned closed-end Gorilla lug nuts for the last year, and I still hammer them off with the impact driver, and back on (gently) with the impact, torque to 90 ft-lbs, and I've had zero issues (and I've swapped wheels countless times). They thread just as smooth as day 1. I do clean up the threads occasionally with a 3M abbrasive pad, which helps. FYI on the ARP's: there are 3 different lengths. I bought part #100-7728 because of the length, 1.95", which I thought should be slightly longer than stock. When I received the wheel studs, they are slightly longer than stock, however the threaded portion of this ARP stud ends at exactly the same length as the stock wheel stud. If you're looking for stock length replacements, these are the right length. If you want longer, you'll have to get the super long ones 2.535", part #100-7729.
