    Web site said 6 turns.

    OEM ~12.5 Turns, W/ .25" Spacer ~7.5 turns.
    I purchased Currie Studs and had them machined. I got ~14.5 turns and so far = good.
    Brand:Currie Enterprises
    Manufacturer's Part Number:CE9000D Part Type:Wheel Studs
    Product Line:Currie Wheel Studs
    Summit Racing Part Number:CUR-CE9000D

    Wheel Stud Style: Press-in
    Wheel Stud Thread Size: 1/2-20 in. RH Underhead Length (in): 3.000 in.
    Knurl Diameter (in.): 0.610 in.*
    *The OEM Knurl 0.609
    YES!!

    1/2" spacer SHOULD be accompanied with longer studs. thanks for bringing that up.
    guys have to remember - the section width and exactly where at it's widest point, will be your interference. Some cars are riding higher/lower so the tire width is at a different point of the shock / outer wheelhouse
    these are MODIFICATIONS - results vary.

    BUT - these wheels will fit, enable wider tires, and look the balls, at a big savings and far faster than getting a set sent out!

    As has been noted already....$700 is a DEAL for two widened OEM Marauder rims.
    Buy them and then save your stock Marauder rims.

    Jeez,
    This site has quickly become like the FourEyed Pride forum....
    Lots of 'tire kickers' and low ballers, but no one wants to pony up any cash.

    This is my ad, so I'll crap in it.
    Joe - you speak volumes.
    I understand if guys message me that are short on cash, saving to get the same item new, hoping for a break. Some pertinent questions about the item, not stated within the ad. Try to deal, offer a reasonable price....
    But no, instead, insulting low balls, or "I'll take it!", only followed with a message - "oh,, well, not exactly what I thought or need, I did no research, can you explain how this all works? Can you measure everything with pictures?Oh, that looks great - but - no sale then, but thanks''.
    ...
    What brand of used parts / cars buying population has evolved? Does this happen when they buy retail? NO. They just pay full price.
    Once buying an item used, it's suddenly black market voodoo buying with zero ethic, professionalism or assumed responsibility to hold an end of a purchase..
    Once selling THEIR item used, it's worth retail - don't try to get any deals! And sell it out from under your offer for full asking price payment - someone offered more.
    On this forum and others, over the past year or two - this experience has become expected.

    To all the members shaking your heads reading, because you buy/sell things traditionally, please shrug off my rant.
    TO THE TOP....

    After I sold my first Marauder in 2012, I sold off about 10 different spare/extra parts that were laying around. Not a single person low balled and they all payed listed price. A lot has changed in 7 years.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    This x1000, I tossed good marauder specific parts in the trash because I wasn’t going to deal with it. The last item was a factory service manual, a fella wanted a set, I told him to pm me, then the collective jumped in steering him to their own eBay auctions and such, what I didn’t post on the open forum is that they were free, the trash can was closer and I didn’t have to even spend time or money shipping them.

    This forum at one time was full of people that would help others, now it appears to be full of those that just want to help themselves. Makes no difference to me, I have a few more boxes of parts, I may sell them, I may toss them. It’s all good...

    True.
    Buying a Marauder was once an expensive proposition.
    So was, and is, modding one...$$$

    Now that beat-to-hell Marauders can be bought for chump change, the buyers expect great condition OEM Marauder parts to be just as cheap.

    They best stick with crappy chromed Chinese rims and junkyard 5.3 LS motors.

    Now we're getting to the root cause. It's a younger, me too, entitled buying demographic, with far less passion for the 'spirit' of owning a Marauder. And less social skills and desire to be a community.
    Just get into that cool car cheap.
    The 93-02 F-body 4th generation cars went through the same cycle. It sucked to watch diminish, and selling excellent, hard to find OEM parts is futile. Nobody cares.
    A 93-97 Firebird full console in mint condition, would have fetched north of $150 in a day, in the early to mid 2000's. Today , I can't give it away.
    Marauder / parts will face a similar demise, I believe. Once, a crowd of educated, hungry buyers turns into a scattered few - without means or motivation to pay previous value.
