Brian,
Stock is 34.5mm long, this is correct for the rear studs of a Syncro and
2WD.  Syncro 16s had 41mm long studs at the rear.  This measurement is from
the start of the shank of the stud to the end of the threads.

I stock 46mm long studs and 53mm long studs.  The 46mm are $20 CAD / $14.50
USD for a set of five and the 53mm long studs are $25 CAD / $18.25 for a set
of five.

Subject: 2 wheel drive rear wheel stud length

I was wondering if anyone out in Vanagon land had the
specs for the stock rear wheel lugs on a 2 wheel drive
vanagon?

I am particularly interested in overall length

I need to come up with a longer than stock set to get
the correct 8 + turns on my new wheels.  Ronal's setup
only gives you 5.5 turns per nut and I don't feel too
comfy with that.

Thanks,
Brian
