Do I need longer wheel studs back and front? Do I need to get longer wheel studs in the front also?
Do I need open end lugnuts on all studs, or can I just put it on one per side?
Thanks.

Re: Do I need longer wheel studs back and front? I would say, depends on what type of tires you are running. Street up to ET Streets, no. Slicks yes. But is always better to be save than sorry. Never seen 2 techs the same.
If you go with long studs, only thing that will fit is open ended.

Re: Do I need longer wheel studs back and front? so what would you do if you have the long studs for the skinnies up front
but when your done racing you put back on your regular rims and they dont use open ends?
I have TT II's and they have the chrome lugnuts

Re: Do I need longer wheel studs back and front? that's when you purchase a set of open ended chrome lugs for your TT2's... 
that's your only option if you're going to run longer studs.

Re: Do I need longer wheel studs back and front? Keep this in mind. Studs that stick out way past the nut are simply not required.
"All wheel studs must project into hex position of lug nut by a distance equal to one diameter of stud."
That does not say "stick out past lug nut 1 inch".
To pass tech, an open ended nut is suggested just so he can easily see it.
Do some searching on the NHRA rules. Google is your friend.
