Wheel Studs

Wheel Studs: the part that actually holds your wheel to the hub

Wheel studs are the threaded posts that pass through the hub flange and carry the lug nuts that clamp your wheel. When you upgrade to wider tires, run wheel spacers, or just want more thread engagement for track use, you fit new studs to gain length or strength over the factory pressed-in units. Extended studs give you more room to catch the nut through a spacer; forged or heat-treated studs give you a stronger part that stands up to repeated wheel swaps. Anyone who has snapped a tired factory stud in a driveway knows why upgraded wheel studs are worth doing properly.

What ThreePiece stocks

This category holds 45 products from 6 brands, currently priced from $21 to $119 - that range reflects what is in stock now, not a fixed price. The bulk of the range is ARP (32 of the 45), with the rest split across H&R, BLOX Racing, Moroso, ISR Performance and Wilwood. Fitment data is attached to 21 of the products, covering makes including Ford, Chevrolet, Subaru, Mazda, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Lexus and Mitsubishi across model years from 1980 to 2024. Popular applications in the range include the Ford Mustang, Subaru WRX, Chevrolet Camaro, Mazda Miata, Nissan 240SX and Chevrolet Corvette.

Concrete examples: the ARP 94-04 Ford Mustang Front Wheel Stud Kit and the ARP 05-14 Ford Mustang Rear Wheel Stud Kit are model-specific five-stud sets. For extended studs, the BLOX Racing Forged Extended Studs 12 x 1.5mm (Set of 16) and the Set of 20 version cover whole-car applications in one box. On the value end, the Moroso Press-In Wheel Studs 1/2in x 3in and the 7/16in x 2-7/8in 5 Pack are straightforward press-in replacements.

How to choose

Start with your thread size and pattern - 12 x 1.5mm and 1/2in or 7/16in are all represented, so match the stud to your hub, not the other way round. Buy vehicle-specific kits like the ARP Mustang sets when you want a stud engineered for that hub. Choose extended studs, like the BLOX sets, when you run wheel spacers or wheel adapters and need extra thread to reach the nut safely. Count your studs: kits come as sets of 5, 16 or 20, so buy enough to do every corner.

What else you need

New studs mean new lug nuts matched to the thread - check the McGard range if you want locking nuts. Cars that use bolts instead should look at lug bolts instead. Wheel Studs sit under our broader Wheel Accessories section alongside center caps.

Fitment and ordering

Use the wheel fitment calculator to confirm your setup, or call fitment help at 813-535-5801 if you are unsure which thread you run. All orders ship free, and Affirm and Katapult financing is available at checkout.
