I have been searching for wheel studs that are 10-13 mm longer than stock. I found some at NAPA (P/N 641-3131) but the heads are about 2.5 mm larger than stock. I am not really in the mood to remove the hub from the knuckle. Does anyone have a part number and a website of a stud that is 10-13 mm longer than stock and retain all the other stock dimensions?
I did some searching but am not having much luck.

wait until I get home. Ill give you the part number. I had to order some from Napa. They are 13mm longer than stock. The knurl on these studs is about 7 thousandths of an inch smaller, but thats basically nothing.

If you require spacers and longer studs the wheel studs you need are from 92-86 Mazda RX-7
Item Number: 610-341 Description: Wheel Studs Brand: DORMAN Application: Mazda 92-86 Type : Serrated Stud Thread : M12-1.5 Knurl Dia. : 13.08mm Length : 52mm Shoulder Length : 25.5mm
Yes you will have to grind off about a 1/16" at the most on one edge to get them past the hub as mentioned...it's no big deal. You just need to make a little flat spot on the edge...dremel, file, beltsander all work fine.

I got some of these and had a friend turn down the heads. They do work, I would just prefer to have a longer stud retaining the stock dimensions. Thanks for the info.

That's what they are...I have these on my car as well. I did the work myself so I was able to compare them to the originals. I needed to install them when I put on the Baer Track 13" brakes with my 17" FSVT wheels and spacers. They looked exactly the same but longer...same lug nuts, same knurl/spline, same thread just longer and the head/shoulder was about 0.050" bigger in diameter.
Not sure what you are after, if it's all the same and works fine why worry about it

From what Jim has said, the rx-7 studs aren't long enough for his spacer/wheel setup. I believe you have a 1/4" spacer, while he has 1/2" spacers up front. IIRC, the rx-7 studs are only 10mm longer, while the NAPA part# Jim gave is 13mm longer .

WOW!!! 1/2" spacers...you are correct the RX-7 will not be long enough. I would find a different setup...1/2" spacers are huge. I don't even like the idea of 3/8" spacers much less 1/2" Good luck...what's he trying to put on 13" Big brakes and 16" wheels ?
