Extended Stud Options?

[Jbraun2828]

Why are you not running the opmustang gt4 studs. I use 31mm spacers up front have have plenty of thread left

Everything on the website shows sold out. I also left 2 messages but never heard back from anyone so I had no idea when they would be available

Yeah, im in the same boat. Have a set of 19x11 wheels coming in and have been waiting for a reply from opmustang trying to get an eta on studs.

For those who need, or want, the ARP studs, I just took delivery of a set from the Shelby Store.

Are we sure these are the 1in longer ARP studs(100-7733)? The price is a little steep, but it may be the only option right now..

They are the Ford M-1107-C, which are made by ARP. I know the price isn't great, but in these days of $100 oil filters...

Been running these with a 25 mil for a couple seasons now and they're great.

Several are in stock too.

Yeah, so they are the 3in studs.

Ah okay. I thought the fp hubs only had the 100-7732(.5in longer than stock) studs. But if you can fit a 25mm spacer than they must use the 100-7733 arp studs.

I just put GT4 studs in my new hubs after having R length in my old. Overall length is basically the same but the GT4 studs have a longer "nose" before the thread starts.

Thanks! Why the switch?

Thanks! Why the switch?

For me? Because that's what was available

Curtis at MSI makes a very good stud. Tim at OPM has done a good job working with Curtis to make a lot of this available.

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.

Badger, if I want to install GT350R carbon fiber wheels (MY2019) on a standard GT350 (MY2020), are these the hubs to get? Do you know if the rear studs need to get extended as well to make the rear carbon fiber wheels. I'd like to keep it as OEM as possible without going through dealership.

Or would you think just changing the studs on the original hubs is the way to go? I'm new to the wheel stud game.

Why not just buy a set of 4 OEM GT350R hubs from a Ford parts supplier? The factory studs are the correct length and work with OEM nuts or any regular aftermarket nut you'd like to use. It's a simple, guaranteed to fit, solution.

I didn't/don't know what part to get exactly without buying too few or too many assemblies to ensure the wheels will switch over problem free. I've never swapped hubs on these cars and know there have been some minor changes over the GT350 run. I want to do it right, easily and efficiently the first time.

Is it all 4 hubs w studs alone that I need? Fronts and rears?

Yes, the hubs come with studs installed and they bolt onto the knuckles front and rear with four bolts each. The rears also have the half-shaft nut that should be replaced. Ford says "get new bolts too" but I've reused my originals every time I've swapped over from regular GT350 hubs to R hubs.

So, the shopping list is two front "R" hubs, two rear "R" hubs, two half-shaft nuts and optionally 16 mounting bolts and that's it.

There are a number of threads here and on TMO that show how to change front and rear hubs. It's a bit tedious, particularly the rears, but not that difficult.
