Could someone with their rear wheel off at the moment measure the stud length from disc surface to tip of stud its on a 2017GT in case later ones are different length
would be much appreciated cheers Dave

They are all the same length from 2015-2023 on the EcoBoost/GT

Edited... and removed information from AI search which gave approx. Length.
OPR corrected me and gave OP what he wanted a measurement.

2.4"

Not accurate, the entire stud is only 2.175" Overall, 1.950" UHL, and roughly about 1.190" sticking out past the brake rotor.

No problem I'll remove that inaccurate information, I guess everything isn't true on the Internet . AI was supposed to correct that .

They are super short some racing wheels with thicker hubs barely get much thread egagement.

i have 8 blank centres left over from one of my sports sedans race car wheels {they are 3 piece}
im just thinking out loud as a friend mentioned he would like them on his mustang
he would need longer studs going by your info thanks again

We sell GT35O R take-outs which are plenty long and once you determine the length ylu need you can just chop them to length. Or we have 4 different racing wheel studs. Obviously the take-outs are least expensive but are great for customization.

i will make note of that thankyou

There's plenty of thread engagement within the threaded cone section but it sure looks sketchy. These are SVE wheels I use on my winter setup and the Apex wheels I use on my summer setup look the same. I'll eventually upgrade the studs.

How many turns of engagement you got there?

20mm of thread engagement so that would be 13.3 turns. I never measured the OEM wheel engagement but I doubt it's much better? I got Optimum Performance's PGT4 extended studs up front but I'm undecided what to do about the rear studs.

well 7 *full* turns or more is ok with good quality lug nuts.

I had a friend loose a wheel trying to run a lightweight lug with too few threads engaged. Chassis scraping the ground as it slowly came to a halt missing a front wheel was a truly terrible noise. Needed a new rotor after that, rotors dont make for good wheels
