Default What long front wheel studs do I need?

I know I can press the old ones out and measure but I'm going to be out of town the next couple days and need to get them ordered tonight so I'll have them for Friday night's race.

My '85 GT has the stock front rotors on it. I know for a fact they are 1/2 - 20 thread but I don't know for sure the knurl size. Autozone lists the stockers as .570 knurl but I don't completely trust their information.

If that is the correct size these should work, right?

ARP 100-7706 - ARP Wheel Studs

or maybe these would be a better fit:

Moroso 46185 - Moroso Wheel Studs

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply Reggie. I had to order them Tuesday so I'd have them in time so I took a shot and ordered the Moroso's, which arrived today. I hope they'll work. On the package it says "Fits all Ford front spindles 1979 to present." I'll find out tomorrow morning and let you know.

I'm going to have to get my arse in gear tomorrow as I want to get the studs installed, have my front tires mounted on the new wheels and install my two step, and be ready to leave for the track by 2:00 PM.

I have a vacation day so I'm going to get up at 5:00 AM just like I was going to work and get an early start. Don't know if I'll get it all done but I'll try. Should be OK if I don't run into any of those "unexpected" problems that have a way of screwing things up.
