Ichiba Extended Studs....
Hello My Driver Friends!!!
As you guys know, our wheel studs suck!!!
Last year, I bought some WORK lugs, and this year they are now bad. freakin
$140
Being aluminum lugs tightening on steel studs will wear them down, from what I have learned.
So now I'm on the search for some new studs, I have replaced the rusted beat up studs before with factory replacement, but they still go bad.
I have been looking at the iChiba extended studs. What are you guys take on these.
They have different lengths. 35MM - 45 MM - 50 MM
But the knurls is what gets me. Which one do I go with? They have 12.75 MM knurls and 14 MM knurls...

I will use these with BLOX open ended lugs. Maybe some other brand down the road, but for now it'll be BLOX. I got them for a good price locally.
I tried to search the site, but when searching "Ichiba" or "extended studs" all there is to show is some recent threads and some threads about spacers.
so now to my questions.... if you could help out, I greatly appreciate it so very much.
What size to go with? 35MM? 45MM? 50MM?
Which knurl to choose? 12.75? or the 14MM knurl?
What I have on my ride...
Tein Basics
T1S wheels slightly aggressive
no camber kits

ichiba IMO isnt that good of a brand i have their wheel spacers that seemed good but the studs on them seem super cheap and chinese why dont you look at a better brand like ARP. the knurl is the the fatter part with the lines cut in it that fits into the hub. google around and find out what size yours is or take an old stud and measure it.there isnt a performance difference between then it just meant one will fit your car one will not. as for the length once again you should start by measuring the length of you existing studs and if you are adding spacers.
i gotta say i have had my wheels on and off alot and the studs havent worn out at all that makes no sense why yours would. did you stop and think for a minute that since its aluminum lugs, and aluminum is a super soft metal that MAYBE the lugs would have worn out and it isnt the hardened steel studs?? they have tools that measure threads if your really concerned
