1/2" press in wheel stud swap? I have stock 12mm studs
is there a 1/2" that will press in to the stock knurl?
Or am I forced to stick with 12mm unless I drill?
I need long studs for weld drag wheels.
I haven't been able to find any .509 knurl on the 'net
Thank you

It looks like I'm ordering 12mm and next time I have the axles out for something, then at that time I'll drill for 1/2 or 5/8
Unless someone knows something, I'm ordering the long 12mm later today...
Thank you

Stock axles? I've only messed with moser axles, so idk if they are different, but I have 1/2in on my front wheels. So I wouldn't think the hole is different front to back. But all I did was used an old lug nut and pulled the new studs in. I don't think the back ones can be done with the relucter rings in.

I removed a stud from the moser, and removed a stud from my stock front, and they LOOK exacly same. I don't have a micrometer, but with a ruler it looks like I have .509 knurl on both the Moser stud and and the stock front stud. I would love 1/2" studs since I am replacing them all anyway, but I can only find 12mm press in studs for the .509 knurl so far. I'm pretty sure the answer is I have to drill or ream to get to 1/2" studs. I just want to make sure before I order the 12mm ones. I will not be doing any drilling or reaming I tend to totally ruin stuff like that
Thank you
