I got mine from a local performance parts place but their made by eibach, they were part of a kit for a hubcentric spacer kit I used to run. I'd recommend eBay or speedshack for better prices though, I can't remember what length they were but I'm sure it's M10x1.5 thread.

standard ford studs are M12 x 1.5 and are readily available on abay in various lengths

The grp a studs are M14 x 1.5 and use a collar/sleeve on the inner part of the stud

Hope that helps

NO mate, M12 is the standard ford wheel stud diameter and 1.5 is the pitch (distance between teeth on the stud)

Hence grp a studs are M14 which is a size up from standard so they are beeffier/stronger to withstand the greater abuse a rally car gets
