How many of these 72mm wheel stud sets do I need for my Vanagon?

For a full vehicle set of these 72mm wheel studs, you'll need a total of 20 studs. This breaks down to ten studs for the rear axle and ten for the Syncro front axle. Since they are sold in packs of 5, you will need to purchase 4 packs (20 studs total) to cover both axles on your 1968-1991 Vanagon with press-in studs.

Will these 14mm x 1.5 pitch wheel studs fit my aftermarket wheels?

Yes, these extended 72mm wheel studs are specifically designed to accommodate thicker aftermarket wheels that might not fit with standard length studs. The 14mm diameter and 1.5 pitch thread are standard for many Vanagon models from 1968-1991. If your goal is to use custom wheels or wheels with a larger hub or spacer, these studs provide the necessary extra length.

Are these GoWesty wheel studs compatible with my 1985 Vanagon?

Absolutely! These GoWesty 72mm wheel studs are compatible with all Vanagon models from 1968 to 1991 that utilize press-in style studs. This includes your 1985 model, provided it has the original press-in stud setup. They are suitable for both rear wheel applications and the front for Syncro models.

What makes these Vanagon wheel studs 'extra-long' and why would I need them?

These wheel studs are considered 'extra-long' because they measure 72mm, which is longer than the factory standard. You would typically need these longer studs if you are installing aftermarket wheels that have a thicker center section or if you plan to use wheel spacers. The extra length ensures you still have sufficient thread engagement for secure wheel mounting, making them a crucial component for certain wheel setups on your 1968-1991 Vanagon.
