Rick yes the Dorman parts are the OEM replacements and these are all too short when using the alloy wheels. The length I am hoping to find is in the
2 1/4" total length. Yes I have seen the ARP studs but these are 3.4 inches long and would need to be cut, which then makes taking the lug nuts on and off a REAL drag and easy to cross thread, I want a proper lead-in at the end of the stud to avoid that. It seems the Granada uses a knurl diameter of 0.554 when new and the Dorman replacements step it up to near .570 to ensure a good interference press fit upon replacement. I guess I will study the Dorman catalog until I find one. The Granada UHL seems to be 1 7/8". The best match I can find is a 2 3/32" with a 0.565" knurl diameter which may give me enough length Dorman 610-391
