You can get a standard wheel stud to fit into a 1LE rotor. The studs I bought and installed were identical in overall size as the original metric stud. I popped out the old studs and installed the new 7/16" studs. I have had the brake set up on my '76 Firebird for 2 years now.

Pretty much every car postwar we have seen with the exception of Dodge trucks are hub/pilot centered with OEM wheels. Full size Pontiac are usually 3.06" Ø while intermediates are 2.781" Ø.

It always made me shake my head seeing repop rims, ie Snowflakes, with oversize pilot holes. WTF are they thinking these rims are going on?

I use the 1LE front and rear rotors both 12". I didn't want standard studs in the rear and metric in the front. The only studs that would fit the later model rotors and be 7/16 were off a 1967 only F body fronts with drum brakes. Talk about a hard to find stud...they're one year only.

you mean THESE studs...

10 - Optional standard wheel studs (NAPA PN-6411560 or Dorman PN 610-114)

simple knock ins.

You also will need longer studs as GM was very cheap here.

Scarebird - duplicate to e-mail I sent you

Is the 1/4" overall track-width or per side for total of 1/2"? Also, what length studs would one use that would still work with Rally II's and blind lug nuts. Do the studs fit holes in the GMC Jimmy rotors?

Total of 1/4"

1/4" longer works well here

Do the studs fit holes in the GMC Jimmy rotors?

yes, same pilot and stud size.

Yes, not for nothing but the part number was easy...I had to order them twice to get all the same studs in the box. Lol Nobody where I'm from nobody had them in stock. I couldn't even find one where I could see if they would work before ordering.

FWIW I just measured some Moser 30 spline 8.5 10 bolt F body and the pilot is 2.760. Factory ones I have laying around are 2.770 another one 2.783.

That's because aftermarket wheels are lug centric. The hub can vary, and they want them to fit multiple cars.
