how much power can a wheel stud hold?? are arp or nismos better??

my car is for drag and i have 4 lugs and im am wondering if the wheel studs will hold up on the launch. right now i will be making about 250f/tq off the line. but later on down the road. i will be making about 400f/tq off the line.

any help thanks i searched and only found dumbasses over tourqin there wheels and falling off on the highways. im fuckin lovin it.

the wheel stud, as long as its properly torqued can handle quite a lot of power and will hold up to your lauches.

Of course the arp and nismo studs are better in their own respects
but unless you need extended studs i dont think you need to change them unless they are damaged.

well i have weld drag wheels for my car and the back fit on perfect but the front dont clear the caliper. so i need to get longer studds and spacers for those.

just seein if i need to order for all 4 tires or just the front.

keep in mind that arp specializes in bolts so they probably know a little more about bolts than most companies do. But then again, I doubt nismo makes those wheel studs in house. Im sure they contract that job out.

I would buy nismo studs just because they are cheaper than arp and they are just as good in quality. You can never go wrong with oem stuff like nismo.

I would say upgrade to five lug, but since you already found good four lug wheels, just get the spacers and longer arp or nismo studs for the front.

as long as their not stripped their good! i think 90 or 100pounds of torque is good, and i drift so you can see how much tension i put on those studs! i remember a long time ago one of my studs is fukd up so i was drifting with 3-LUG!!!! and nuttin happened...im still here my car is still running! so i think 90pounds of torque on the lugnuts is good!
