Wheel stud question

Wheel stud question
I have a 69 Camaro with JL8 rear disc brakes added. I had to use a 5/16th wheel spacers to clear the calipers. Now I am not comfortable the length of the remaining stud. What would have been the diameter and length of the stock studs. I need to get some that are longer.

Your local auto parts store should carry these as well.

Since you changed it over to the JL8 option your rims don't have the same offset as what's needed for clearances. Spacers will work but to correct it properly you need different rims. So if you come across any in the future cheap enough, you might want to keep that in mind. Spacers are cheaper than rims (been there, done that lol)

Dorman, the orange drawers behind the counter, also sells studs about 1/2 inch longer than stock length.
Use a couple flat washers, plenty of grease and a turned around lugnut to pull the new stud into place on the flange.

My stock rally wheels fit just fine but I changed to the Oldsmobile SS1 wheel (same as the Chevrolet SS wheel but no beauty band, chromed outer lip) and that is when the problem started. I am now using a 3/16th spacer and have got the new wheel studs installed. All is well.
Thanks for all the help.
