Subaru field engineer says OEM wheel studs only good for 75 to 80 wheel changes
The OEM nuts suck. I haven’t had trouble with any studs, but I had 3 nuts that were going crunchy. Replaced then with fresh Mutekis and later Gorillas and threading had been smooth ever since. Only reason I got the gorillas is because I preferred the look of the closed end.
It’s probably not the only factor but I’m sure it helps keeping the threads clean. I wish everyone just used lug bolts, so much less hassle. |

I've been using anti-seize for almost the entire time I've had the car (2014). I think factory wheel torque is 89 ft-lb, and I just use slightly less at 85 ft-lb.
My front wheel studs are extended ARP because I use wheel spacers only in the front, but the rear studs are still original. I swap wheels for each of the 15-20 autox/track weekends every year. Before switching to extended studs, I had been using McGard splined wheel nuts, but I've been using Muteki SR45R since 2017 when I installed the ARP studs in front. The car just hit 60k miles - also still on original TOB. Not everything's as bad as it seems on the forums. |
