Granada Rotors- Studs too short, what did you do ?
With those of you using Granada Rotors on your cars, you have likely found that the OEM Granada wheel studs are too short to offer correct (strong/safe) thread engagement to your lugnuts when using alloy wheels with thicker cross sections. The Granada rotors use OEM length studs set up for steel wheels used on the Granadas. I am using acorn style McGuard lug nuts that match the cone seat on my Team 3 wheels.
What length or part number of 1/2" wheel studs did you go with on the Granada rotors to run alloy wheels so you have adequate thread engagement to keep the wheel safely secured? It seems I need at least another 1/4" of stud length, 1/2" would be even better. I could just go down to NAPA and try to find a longer stud but I am sure this is not the first time someone has encountered this.
I dont know the OEM Granada knurl diameter of the stud until I press it out I guess . Advice on what you did ?
