Does anyone have a source for 12mm press in style wheel studs? We got them from BSI racing last year (VW ones) but they were way too long.

Do you need to go press in? We use a B6 threaded rod that threads through the hub and is welded on the backside. You just have to make sure you tension the bolts when you weld the backside. Otherwise, the weld is gonna crack when you torque down the wheels.

Yeah, need press in. The hubs are aluminum, so I can't weld the back side.

We use standard Ford 12mm wheel studs from our local Ford dealer.

ARP sells them in a few different lengths from Jegs and Summit

Or any auto parts store...
