| You can use studs from the front of a 1970's Bus, or buy the factory VW studs used on the Carat Wanagons with alloy wheels. You can also buy studs intended for Porsches from a number of aftermarket companies in all sorts of different lengths ( companies like Automotion, Tweeks, Paragon Products etc.) The 911 also uses 14x1.5 mm threaded studs same as the vans. |

The CIP1 studs do work well and they're cheap. I've used them several times, but since they are not threaded to the very end the advertised length is a little misleading.
Also, Vanagons equipped with factory alloys use the same short studs as the steel rim versions. VW just specified a taper seat lugnut rather than a ball seat in order to reach deeper into the alloy rim.
