New finding…

So as we have known, the s13 and the s14 rear (5lug) share the same studs with the 12.85 knurl and the s14 front (5lug) and the 300z and 350z uses the 14.3 knurl. Me looking and reading everything available through the www, found out that APR sells a GM stud that will fit the s13 and the s14 rear (5lug) only, and that they don’t have s14 front. This also s changes the nut pitch from 12x1.25 to 12x1.5. I have used the 12x1.25 and find it driving me insane that it always like to cross thread, and tends to be more prone to breakage, wanted to find a matching 12x1.5 front stud.

I did find something and it looks to be the same stud as the 91-95 mr2 stud, as that is a 14.3 knurl but it does however have a smaller shoulder compared to the Nissan.

All in all if we need to run 12x1.5 it would be feasible to hit the Toyota dealer for some studs that would ultimately fit in the front of the s14’s and might not cross thread as easily. Just food for thought.

the point was to get something that matches the ARP rear studs, to fit in the front. ARP makes longer studs that are 12x1.5, but the front we only have the option of 1.25 nismo, and peak performance. So toyota has longer studs from the factory used for the 4 runner so though that would be an option.

We've known about the GM studs from ARP since 1989, but thanks for the clarification, 17 years later even.

my point was for the front, not the rear...having the rear GM studs i know, then what to do with front...and it is to use Toyota fronts...cause it'll fit.

Aceinhole did this a long time ago. Better yet, he used Moroso studs.

I was looking at that and reading the details..but the Moroso stud is a different pitch for the lug nuts, meaning different from the rear. I was just looking to find something that matches..so it'll be less possible to mix things up, and even get 1 full set of tuner lugs if so desired.
