Wheel studs suggestions

Can you give me some a good suggestion for wheel studs that do not rust?

Only stainless steel won't rust. Nobody make wheel studs for cars due to less shear strength than regular steel. Use closed end lugnuts.

Ah yes, Ft. Bragg I spent a few months there.... Wheel studs are made of hardened steel I seriously doubt if there's a way to keep them from getting rusty. You could slow the process down by painting them and keeping them oiled or get the hell out of N.C. and move to a dry climate!

Yes, the ARP bolts are probably the best bet against rusting. They are CAD plated ( rust inhibitor ).
They do not make a direct replacement for the G35 but these ones will fit - http://www.jegs.com/i/ARP/070/100-77...oductId=747558

They are very long however. They will fit in the front with no modification, but in the rear you will need to cut about 1 inch or so off the end of the stud or dissasemble the rear hub assembly to install.
