DIY-Installing Longer Wheel Studs..
#22
Lookin into the 10mm just for the rear , just wondering if anyone had some before and after shots with the stock steelies and is it a simple put it over the studs and bolt the wheel back up mod or is there a little more to it ? I always thought the rear tires were just too unusually spaced together

Good writeup except for one thing:
Don't EVER EVER use a torque wrench like a breaker bar to get greater leverage. A torque wrench is a delicate & precision calibrated tool and after being used like this it may no longer give a correct torque reading, which could be very dangerous (imaging thinking your lug nuts are torque tight enough when they aren't).
If you need extra leverage go and buy a cheap breaker bar, it is well worth spending the $10-$30 on one to save your $50-300 torque wrench.
You will probably want to use a torque wrench to get the leverage you need to wedge the new stud all the way in so that it is flush like the stock stud used to fit.

You might as well throw your torque wrench away after this suggestion.

Hi Dexter and everyone,
So the ARP Mitsu Evo extended studs work on the xA? I assume it will be the same for a 04-06 xB?
How much longer is the threaded length compared to stock in the rear and front studs?
Why did you go with the ARP Mitsu Evo extended studs instead of the ARP Honda extended studs - as I believe the Honda and Evo have the same thread - 12mm x 1.5?
I ask because I need to replace my stock studs on my 2005 xB as the Volk wheels I have allow me to only thread on my lug nuts about 5 turns when tightened in the rear.
In addition I would like to install some 5mm or 10mm spacers to rear in order bring out the wheels a bit more flush with the rear wheel well.
Would any of these work for as extended replacements for the rear and front wheel studs..

Thanks in advance for the info!

in order to install longer studs in the rear you'll have to remove the rear hub assembly completely. just not enough room to put the longer studs back there with it installed. i tried a few times and just ended up replacing them with stock ones.
if you just need to change them. have to pop off the drum. the studs themselves will just hammer out. then to install the new one you need to use an over sized nut as a spacer and a lug nut threaded on the stud tighten the lug nut will suck in the stud.
