Will this 56mm Wheel Stud Set fit my Vanagon, and how do I know if it's the right size?

Yes, this 56mm Wheel Stud Set is designed for all years and models of the Vanagon, including both 2WD and 4WD. The studs are M14 x 1.5 thread pitch, which matches factory specs, making them a reliable fit for most original wheels. If you have aftermarket wheels that require a longer stud, check out our 72mm option.

How many wheel studs do I need to order, and which pack size should I choose?

Each wheel uses five studs. If you're replacing all studs on one wheel, the 5-pack is perfect. For both front or rear axles (two wheels), choose the 10-pack for convenience. If you need more, feel free to order multiple packs or explore other stud lengths for special setups.

Is it easy to install these Wheel Studs, and are they good for regular replacements or aftermarket wheels?

These Wheel Studs are straightforward to install with standard tools and are a great solution for both replacing old, damaged studs or when mounting some types of aftermarket wheels. Many customers have rated these highly for quality and reliability. If you’re running thicker wheel spacers or custom wheels, consider our longer 72mm studs for extra thread engagement.

Wheel studs were a bit tight, and were longer that existing.
I don’t think one of the 5 being longer is going to affect anything. I struggled to insert the only stud I replaced. It gets installed by feeding from behind the drum base, the inside, so threads are exposed outward. I used a large washer with an old lug nut, then pryed it through the tight hole with a crow bar and periodically a hammer and thick chistle. I destroyed the washer, but eventually, I was able to pull it all the way through. My neighbor said I should have screwed my old nut on, and tightened it with my impact gun. Well, maybe. But I liked my way.

Exactly what I will need for the build I am working on....also arrived promptly.
Thank you

Prompt shipping and good quality. Wish I'd ordered these with the Rear Disc Brake kit as suggested but was able to salvage the project once these arrived!

The first shipment was the wrong size, but you quickly got the right ones off. Clarence was very helpful. Thank you.

Good product, prompt delivery.

Perfect length

Exactly what I needed

Went in easy

Was a quick job thanks to a press. Knocked the old ones out with a drilling hammer and pressed in the new ones. Easy peasy.

Necessary when upgrading to rear disc brakes

I decided to upgrade to rear disc brakes instead of rebuilding the original drum brakes. Definitely worth it. I chose not to add these studs (even though it was suggested). That was a mistake. I ended up having to order these and wait for them to arrive before I could finish the install. But they arrived quickly and were exactly what I needed to finish the install.
