simple ? on wheel studs

I want to replace my wheel studs to longer one's. I like the race look of having the wheel studs stick out of your rims. I was wondering if anybody can recomend a size and if there are any pic's to be seen...... Thanks again guy's

You can get some 2.67" studs from Lingenfelter or GM Performance parts. I run them because of the thickness of the center on the Weld Pro-Stars and the required spacer on the front hubs. In addition to the 2.67" threaded length, they have at least 1/2" of unthreaded length on the end to guide the wheels over the studs. With my street wheels, they stick out at least 1". Personally, I think looks a bit ugly.

No. You can hammer them out with no problems, hub in place. Then pull the new stud in with a washer, a reversed stock lugnut and preferably an air impact gun.
