Hardrace Extended Wheel Stud 2002-2007 WRX/STI / 2022-2026 WRX | Heat-Treated SAE 4140 Steel | Wheel Studs
Overview
The Hardrace Extended Wheel Stud is designed specifically for Subaru WRX and WRX STI models from 2002-2007 and the latest 2022-2026 WRX generations. These extended studs replace your factory wheel studs to provide additional length, allowing for the installation of larger wheels or tires without the risk of rubbing. Ideal for enthusiasts upgrading their wheel and tire setup, these studs enhance both the stance and handling characteristics of your Subaru by enabling a more aggressive fitment.
Manufactured from high-quality, heat-treated SAE 4140 alloy steel, Hardrace wheel studs are engineered for superior tensile strength and durability. This material choice ensures that the studs can withstand the increased stresses from larger wheels and more demanding driving conditions. Hardrace’s commitment to quality and precision means these studs offer a direct bolt-on fitment with no modifications required, maintaining the integrity of your vehicle’s wheel mounting system.
For Subaru owners, upgrading to extended wheel studs is a practical and effective way to improve both aesthetics and performance. By eliminating wheel and tire rubbing issues, these studs allow for a wider range of aftermarket wheel options and tire sizes. This translates to better handling through improved contact patches and a more confident driving experience on both street and track. The Hardrace Extended Wheel Studs deliver a reliable upgrade that complements Subaru’s dynamic chassis capabilities.
