Anybody know the standard wheel stud length for a 3rd gen magna/ Ralliart.

Quoting some extended ones up and don't know whether i need 41mm or 46mm.
Thanks in advance.

Magna's use the same wheel studs as commodores!

Random, but fruitless information.

I bought extended wheelstuds from Autobahn which are 75mm long and you just cut them too size with a hacksaw. Standard are like 45mm long I think. I can't remember where my standard ones are.

Hacksaw? won't that destroy the end of the thread?

Clean it up with a file. Also, hold the waste end of the thread in the vice instead of clamping on the threads you will be using, or use soft jaws.

Put the nut on the thread further down the thread than you need, cut the thread, clean it will a file and then undo the nut which will effectively rethread the thread you just filed off.
