Vehicle Fitment
This wheel stud installer kit is designed for Kia Rio models produced between 2001 and 2017. It also fits a wide range of Acura, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle, Ford, Honda and Hyundai vehicles listed in the specifications. The kit addresses the specific M12 x 1.5 thread size required by these applications. It is not for vehicles using a different thread pitch or stud diameter.
Dimensions And Finish
The components measure 20 mm by 24.9 mm by 43.15 mm, which converts to 0.787 inch by 0.980 inch by 1.698 inch. A chrome coating provides corrosion resistance for residential garage use. The kit targets pin-type wheel studs exclusively. No thermal, noise or power-draw data applies to this hand-tool set.
Sustained Use Behaviour
Under repeated installations the chrome finish resists wear and the hardened steel maintains dimensional accuracy across the 20 mm, 24.9 mm and 43.15 mm critical surfaces. The tool set is not for commercial high-volume shops or impact-gun workflows that exceed residential duty cycles. It does not service ball-seat or other non-pin stud profiles.

Questions about this item
How do I install the M12x1.5 studs using the included tool, and what step is often missed?
Thread the installer onto the new stud, tighten the nut to pull the stud through the hub flange until fully seated, then remove the tool; the step often missed is verifying the stud shoulder sits flush against the hub before torquing the wheel nuts.
Will the chrome finish on the installer or studs need replacement or re-coating over time?
The chrome coating resists corrosion under normal road exposure; no scheduled re-coating is required, but inspect for flaking if the vehicle sees heavy salt or off-road use and replace any damaged studs.
What limit appears first when pressing multiple studs in succession with this kit?
The installer nut and thrust washer absorb the pressing force; after repeated uses the threads on the installer can wear, increasing the effort needed to draw each 20 mm stud fully home.
