Hi all,
While searching for longer OEM wheel studs, I came up with a
discovery. My dad has long been involved with Chevy corvairs,
and when I asked him about wheel studs for the roadster he
noted that both use 7/16" studs. The hole in the roadster
hubs are 0.450", same as Corvairs. The studs' major/minor
knurl diameters are the same too.
The Corvair replacement studs are about 1/2" longer, allowing
for a thicker alloy wheel. They should just press in with no
problems. This way I don't have to redrill the hubs for
metric (12mm) studs. These studs are available on several
Corvair parts websites such as Clark's Corvair Parts, etc.
Hope this helps!
