If you're diving into some serious brake work or just need to replace those worn-out studs on your late model GM, the ARP Late Model GM Drum Brake Wheel Stud Kit is worth a look. These aren’t just any wheel studs; they’re designed with some real thought behind them.
First off, you’ll notice the press-in wheel stud style. This makes installation a breeze, especially if you’ve got a bit of experience under your belt. The 7/16-20 in. RH thread size is standard for a lot of GM models, so you can trust they’ll fit right in without any fuss. And with a knurl diameter of 0.486 in., they’re built to hold tight and keep everything secure while you hit the road.
Now, let’s talk about the underhead length of 3.165 in. and the shoulder length of 0.420 in.. These dimensions aren’t just numbers; they’re carefully calculated to give you the right fit and performance. You want studs that can handle the stress of braking without bending or breaking, and these are up for the challenge.
One of my favorite features is the quick-start nose. It makes getting these studs into place a lot easier, especially when you’re working in tight spots or just trying to get things done quickly. Plus, they come in a set of five, so you’ve got a spare in case you need it down the line.
In short, if you’re looking for reliable, durable wheel studs that won’t let you down when it matters most, you might want to give these ARP studs a shot. They’ve served me well, and I think they’ll do the same for you.

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless.
Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.
What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes.
ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.
ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
