Re: Wheel stud replacement

Looking for information on longer wheel studs. I have aftermarket aluminum wheels that don't engage enough threads. Also do you have to remove axle to replace the studs or the be pressed off while on the vehicle?
Can anyone provide measurement for the length of stock stud?
Thanks in advance. Thanks

Re: First Oil Change, need opinions

I always make sure engine gets fully warmed up and rarely just move it in driveway even then, I take it for 5 miles so no moisture in exhaust etc.
