Extended Stud Options?

[whatisgrip]

Track season is coming and I'm looking into getting some extended studs to run a square setup. Originally I was going to pick some up from OP but they have been out of stock for months.

Options I've seen are ARP 100-7732 and 7732, Ford Performance M-1107-C but heard mix review for GT350 hubs. What are you guys running for the front and rear?

Interested in this question as well as I also have been waiting on OP's stud availability. How extended do yours need to be? In my case I run a 35mm spacer up front.

I've been tracking the M-1107-C with no issues on the PP2 which it turns out has the GT350 hubs. Run them with 25mm spacer front for the Apex 19x11 square setup, open lug nuts.

I ordered the ARP 3” 14MM stud kit from Steeda about 5 weeks ago and I’m still waiting for them. No word on when I might expect them either, although Steeda did say they’re expecting them any day now.

They're studs - how can they have mixed reviews ? I have longest ARP on magride hubs (same as GT350) and don't see how anyone can say anything critical about them.

I'm only using a 25mm spacer so I think 3.5" UHL would be fine for me. You might need longer

With the bullet ends on those do they give you enough threads to fully tighten down the lug nut with some extra threads to spare?

1. The ARP knurl is too large and distorts the hub flange due to the amount of material they remove during installation.
2. ARP UHL (Under Head Length) is 3" and vs 3.425" (87MM) that OP specs. I'd have better peace of mind with more threads to work with.

Yes, threads left over. Note that I’m using Apex track wheels ,other wheels may have diff thickness. Have to use open lugs, safer

Anyone know of a vendor that has the ARP 3” 14MM stud kits in stock?

I run these up front and the corresponding ones on the rear. The MSI studs are true R length, so they allow 31mm spacers with 52mm offset 19x11 wheels. The longest ARP studs didn't lave much thread after torqued down--always made me uncomfortable. Not to mention they only allowed me to use a 25mm spacer.

I've been eyeing these for months but unfortunately they have been sold out for a while

That's what I'm using now as well, just want a set for new hubs and they've been out of stock for months, grrr.

Have you reached out to Tim? He's pretty transparent - I'd be surprised if he doesn't tell you when he expects to have them back in stock.

Ugh. That blows. I kept my originals with ARP studs as back up. Do you still have your original hubs? Seems like Jegs can get a set of studs shipped out early next week https://www.jegs.com/i/Ford-Performance/397/M-1107-C/10002/-1#

I do still have the original hubs on the car now, but I'm suspicious that one is going out. I'd prefer not to press these studs out and into the next hubs, I'm just concerned that the ARPs are too short for a 35mm spacer. To get the same amount of threads as OEM studs without a spacer, I would need a 3.81" UHL. I don't know how tight I'd be with only the extra 1".
