It comes with two 5/16" x 2 3/4" lag bolts that are threaded up to the head. It does come with plastic anchors. The spacing between the bolts is 9 1/2". The unit weighs 10 lbs. plus the weight of your TV. I don't know the gauge of your studs. If you have access to a steel stud and a 5/16" lag bolt you might want to see how well it threads in. Maybe the plastic anchor might help if it will go into the steel stud. I don't know what is on the other side of the wall and if you have access such as a closet, you could always use a threaded rod to go through the wall and through a piece of wood to give everything extra strength. I would try a practice run on a scrap of steel stud, you don't want to find out the hard way and it doesn't hold, but I think it will. No guarantees. You might want to ask Best Buy Tech support or their installers if it would work.
