GunshipDriver Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I guess I could try to measure and/or count the threads. But is it 12x1.25? The same as what Subaru uses?
m wirth Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 you might want to double check the front studs, mine has Wilwood hubs and the threads are 1/2-24, my rear studs are the metric size you stated. Maybe there is a dual threaded stud for these hubs but Brian left them as from Wilwood.
GunshipDriver Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 Good call. I definitely know that the front studs appear long ARP bullet tips and the rear are quite short... will take them off and verify
WestTexasS2K Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Wildwood doesn't make a 5x100 pattern hub. We have to remachine for 5x100. You can double check the thread on your car by trying the rear lug on the front. All my cars have had the metric threads. It's entirely possible that they are different depending on who machined the hubs.

Maybe there is a dual threaded stud for these hubs but Brian left them as from Wilwood. So I took off a lug from the front and the back and the back lug nut is definitely smaller than the front. I am quite sure I have 5x100 still for both hubs and now just need to get two sets of 10 lug nuts... many thanks :hurray:

My Stalker runs 12x1.5mm in the rear and 1/2"x20 up front; both on 4.75 bolt pattern. :jester:
GunshipDriver Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 What is the easiest and most inexpensive way to verify the sizes of my wheels studs? Currently I am debating buying single lug nuts from Autozone or some nuts from Home Depot or taking the nuts to Home Depot and verifying what size bolt fits the threads.... guess I'll be doing this and reporting back...
joshesh Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Home depot will not carry the thread pitchs you need. Auto parts stores carry lugs and they are not found in most hardware stores, unless u go to a fastenal.
WestTexasS2K Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Do you have Discount Tire store in the area. They sell them individually.
jlumba81 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Take off the front hub or knock out a stud and bring it to a local auto parts store.

Go get yourself a thread pitch gauge and a bolt diameter gauge (see photos below), measure pitch and diameter and then check out these guys for lug nuts at: http://www.ezaccessory.com/ :seeya:
jimrankin Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Really cheap SEA and Metric thread pitch gauges available in auto stores or on line. Usually come in tap and die sets also and best way to check all sorts of different bolts down the line. With the mix of SEA and Metrics used on most 7's it's a god investment.
jimrankin Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 need to type faster, got both those tools and use them all the time.

I am beginning to learn this now... I will look to pick up a set ASAP... I can't stop but want to tinker with my WCM... bought a new steering wheel a few days back and the right adapter yesterday... hopefully they both arrive in the mail this next week.

I somehow stumbled upon the exact same website and ordered 12 @ 1/2-20 and 12 @ M12x1.25 of their open ended alloy 35mm lug nuts.
Mondo Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Do the different Subaru differentials; 4.11, 4.44, 3.90 have different axles/bolt patterns (STI vs WSX etc..)? ,
wemtd Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I Don't know but my 4.11 is sitting on the garage floor if you need measurements. p.
jlumba81 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Its either a 5x100 wrx or a 2005 and up stis are 5x114. I think the newer wrx have a 5x114 bolt pattern. Wrx usually have a r160 differential and sti the r180 diff.
