C'mon now, which one of us hasn't thought at one time or another that our Boss needed a new set of tougher nuts?

Seriously, for those of you that are changing wheels back and forth or if you simply want one of the best/safest track set-ups, you might consider our "all-in-one" ARP Wheel Stud kit. Many tracks are starting to require open-end lug nuts. Their challenge is that with all of the aftermarket wheels and wheel spacers available, closed-end lug nuts don't allow them to see how many threads are fully engaged on the lugs. This kit addresses that - and also gives you the best quality wheel studs available.

This is a set of genuine ARP studs along with a corresponding set of new wheel nuts from Ford Racing. The front studs are slightly longer than the rears to accomodate typically thicker OEM or aftermarket rotors.

Replacing the studs is a pretty easy process and can be done on all 4 corners of the car in a couple of hours by the average DIY'r.

Available now on our website.

 

Good idea making these available Kendall. I'm one of those guys that has the wheels on and off a lot. Last fall, I had a left front rotor that had finally cracked after 18 track days. I went to swap them out and realized I also had just barely started to cord a right front tire, so now not only needed to do a rotor swap, but all four tires. I was just finishing up on the last lug nut on the left front when I spun the factory stud off! I guess it was time to quit The best part was this happened in the paddock Anyway, the factory studs will fail after too many cycles of sticky tires, wheels on/off and retorquing. Definitely a good idea for those putting the car on track on a regular basis. I would say I had roughly 5k miles on the car and about 2k track miles. No less than 40 or 50 times on/off with the wheels.

 

^^^^^^what he said. A must do mode for tracked cars.

 

Why does it look like the studs are an inch too long?

 

Because ARP studs are longer than stock.

 

Here are some pics on a non-LS car for the regular Boss guys. Mine will look like Kendall's pics this spring when I fry the Hoosiers off my 302S wheels:

 

By the way, Kendall's price is excellent for this kit

 

Me likey

 

I was going to order these later this year...F it, I'll just get em now.

I already know first hand how much easier this makes getting the wheels on and off the car, plus a lot less risk of cross-threading a lug. Hopefully they get here before my track event next weekend.

Edit: Ordered!

 

Good to hear you say that, it is fairly easy to do.


I think they look nice installed, not too long. Posted thread here about how to replace them. I searched around for the very best price and ended up having to order the studs from one place in two sets (front and rear) and the lugs from another place. Kendall's price is right on, one stop shopping.

 

Great work! I love your Boss product devotion. Still waiting on the roll bar and I'm headed to your site to order this now!

 

You are at least the second most anxious person on this topic!! (Me being the first. Soon.......)

 

Excellent! It is the very next Mod for the Boss!

 

Stop screwing around on the internet and ship my wheel studs already!

 

and I'm right behind................

 

How long does the stock stud protrude measured from the rotor hat ?

 

I have 1" Gorilla lugs and it's 1-1/16" from the top of the lug to the tip of the stud, so it's over 2"....maybe 2-1/2"? My car got covered up last night probably for the remainder of the winter (snow today ) so not really up for pulling a wheel right now. Maybe someone else in a warmer clime can chime in on it.

 

I'm planning on installing mine ASAP once they show up, so if that question is not answered by then, I'll handle it.

 

stock stud, whoops. too late

 

No worries. We're doing a couple of cars today and I'll get the measurement and Pics!
