I'm trying to find longer 7/16" front wheel studs for my TR6. Just added new alloy wheels "Konig Rewinds" and have made the clearance adjustments with the upper A arm and turned around the balljoint bolts, but in reverse at full lock, the rim will make contact with the ball joint bolt, so I am trying to add a hub spacer, which leaves my 1.5 inch studs a little to short for the lug nuts. I've called the big 3 and no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks for the reply! ARP has pretty close to what I need, I'm concered about the knurl diameter, the stock stud is approx. .510 and they offer a diamter's @.48 and .56 on up. I suppose I could ream the stud holes on the front hub for a proper seat.
 
When I change Sprite hubs to the 100-7701, 7/16" studs, I have to open the holes up to .453" to accept the larger (.486")knurl.
Incidentally, those are GM wheel studs, so are also available at parts stores, in the stock material.
