M12x1.5 to m12x1.25 ARP extended wheel studs

Would this fit our 2gs? http://www.jegs.com/i/ARP/070/100-7716/10002/-1?parentProductId=747558

The kurl is the same .565 but i just want to make sure, if your asking why its because i got an unveliabebale deal on a set of Racing composite lugnuts which are $250+ and they are x1.25.
I know you guys are not familiar with this lugnuts but i have my reasons of why i want to put them on besides they don't damage the wheels when torquing them.

It should work if you have oem hub because the aftermarket hub assembly I had have a smaller kurl. I personally have switch to 1/2-20 studs with the same kurl because they were half the price in extended version compare to dsm extended studs. I also get benefit of thicker studs and cheaper\more lug nuts selection.

Yeah for $160 a set. The 1\2"-20 studs I bought was only $50 for a set of 20, I don't remember but it was for a Ford vehical.

well yeah but you don't have to worry about buying a set and them not fitting.. These are for our cars. But I do see where you're coming from. If the OP's choice do work, I'd pick them up myself.

Don't mean to bring this back, but did the Jegg's studs work for you? Did you go with a different set?

they worked, I make sure all the bearings where oem with .565 curl. I bought the 12x 1.25 from a Subaru since my lugnuts where 12x1.25 Kicks racing composite r4o's, it was a pain in the ass to put them on though i had to remove the wheels bearings on the back, i went ahead and replace my front and rear rotors with brembo drilled replacement.

I'll post pics right now.

Thanks for writing back. I've been waiting awhile.

I do have stock OEM bearings and D/S Rotors from Stoptech so I'll go ahead and get some.

Thanks, man.

Sorry bro it took me like 36 hours to do these. Make sure you remove the old studs with some useless stock lug nuts you have laying around and hit the with a big hammer, also Make sure you press them in by using a lug nut and washer and not hitting the in...

I have a huge box full of useless lug nuts. Figured they'd come in handy sometime soon!

What wheel/tire setup are you using? Rfp1's with what tire? Was any spacer being used? Sorry if I missed any of that info in the post, man.
