I'd keep them personally, assuming they were under $100. Worst case, you can always sell them yourself.

I still run stock studs on the rear with open end lug nuts. No real reason to swap them unless you need to. (Someone will come along and tell me why I'm wrong, it isn't the first time)

Appreciated, spoke to my partner in crime and we decided to keep them and maybe put them on the back..."just in case".

Edit: They were $110.
Edit 2: The 7733s were $140.

I mean, they're probably stronger than the stockers, and then your fronts and rears would match... If it were me I'd send them back and recover the $95.

Matching is good. Strength is good. I will see about install on these fronts and go from there. I have 90 days anyways.

Those are great for rears and you could put up to a 12mm spacer just to push the rear wheels out a bit. Would be good for looks for many wheels.

You are making me excited. Keeping these...for later experimentation.

I did the opposite, I bought the spacers for rears first, then I watched a video about installing rear studs and decided that I like those spacers sitting on a shelf more . But once my rear hubs die, I definitely go for extended studs at the rears.

Understood. I just ordered these ones since the part # matched what Nightmare said.

Should I keep the 1/2"ers? They are $13 to return and I am so miffed at myself.

I feel very old in this moment.

I think I will keep and put on the rears later on for increased stud strength/if I need/want spacers in rear later on.

Put them on the rear.

Bless you guys. Keeping for rear

Im gonna label this under "accidental upgrades".

Just my two cents, OP Mustang is my go-to for stuff like this. Their customer service is one of the best, and they've built a lot of mustangs, and have tons of experience. But they do cost more usually. IMO, worth it. Because I make mistakes no one would think to make

100% for the record OPMustang has been stocking the parts we need and has been super helpful with all sorts of questions and issues. Odd extra large wheels and need high quality extra long studs? He’s got uou covered. Big unusual hubcentric spacers? He’s got em. Need track fluids? Probably has it in stock and with a pump and a measuring stick for the application. Need brake pads? He knows you have an event coming up and lets you know if they’re looking to be a week late. Absolutely the go-to vendor for the stuff he’s stocking.

It looks weird if they're mismatched, anyway.

I fatigue killed 2 or 3 OEM rear studs. Now I have arp studs in the rear. As I recall, a stud broke while I had covid and I installed all of them in a blind rage.

How did the stud break?

like so:

Dang, that thing had been failing for a while! Any thoughts on what caused it? Heat, over torque, torquing while still hot, shitty quality?

I used a paint pen to paint the end of my stock rear studs silver just so they looked similar front to rear LOL.
