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.
