I'm needing to replace my studs and want to go with ARP not OEM, So are these the right size, I don't know the proper "Knurl" size needed (part of bolt that presses into hub):

ARP Wheel Hub Studs - .485 Knurl Diameter, 2.50 Underhead Length, .275 Knurl Length, M12X1.50mm Thread

I'm just gonna be lurking on this one, Jimi. I would like to know as well about this, as I will be looking to buy longer studs when my car is nearing completion. What's the stock length?

Thanks Kurt, I went ahead and ordered the ones from HPF, I had something else I needed from them so I just went ahead and got them, we will see what happens I guess. They said they were the ones for the MKIII hubs, But I just wanted confirmation. I'll post the results under my build thread once I get them.

NOPE!!! F'n .....They are not the right size, the "Knurl" is WAY too small on these. The ARPs that Horsepower Freaks lists under MKIIIs is not the correct ones. The package says they are for Hondas.

I guess I get to try and sell these on Ebay now, as I don't suppose I can return them. Now to try and find the right ones! I didn't want OEM, but I guess that's my only choice at this point.

If you can't return them, there is something wrong with HPF. They have them listed in error, and therefore it is no fault of yours. Now if you ordered Honda wheel studs under the assumption that they would fit, and they didn't, well... then I could see maybe, MAYBE them giving you a hard time.

Bottom line is, it's their fault, and they should honor the customer.

Kurt, I will see what they say, but I don't know, there was something about a 25% restock fee. They were listed under the MKIII, here is the link: STUDS

NashMan, There is no way, the part of the bolt that "presses" into the hub is too small. As in the hole in the hub is bigger than the bolt. I'm not going to "jury-rig" my hubs. :aigo:

Allan, +1 for the link, thanks.
