Does anyone know what size our wheel studs are? I figure since I HAVE to replace mine I might as well do it right with some ARP's (http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+4294863804+400295+115&Nao=0#rstop).

Apparently someone thought it would be funny to loosen some of my lug nuts!:eek:

Edit...
No after market studs are available at this time for the VX.
Dorman studs are available at most auto parts stores and hardware stores.
Dorman part numbers:
Front...610 262
Rear...610 261
(the rears are a little longer)

ARP, Moser, and Moroso do not make a stud that will fit the VX:(
So now I will search out some other options...

Looks like Dorman (http://shop.oreillyauto.com/ProductList.aspx?PartType=183&PTSet=A) may be the only option.

Okay, Just purchased my wheel studs. As stated above...none of the heavy duty aftermarket makers make studs that fit our VX's so I went with the Dorman's. These are available at most auto part stores and at your local hardware stores.
Part numbers for the Dorman wheel studs that the VX uses are:
Front...610 262
Rear...610 621
the rears are longer than the fronts. I will post some pics of the replacement process (which will begin shortly).
