15x3.5 Weld Skinnies - Need Longer Studs On Front? 1st, I understand that if you run a 5/16th spacer, you don't need to grind the caliper, correct??
2nd, with the spacer, do the stock wheel studs work or are they too short?? Have you guys had to replace them??
Thanks!

Re: 15x3.5 Weld Skinnies - Need Longer Studs On Front? As an FYI...because the are a two-piece wheel, NHRA rules require longer studs. Whether or not your track will check for that is another thing...but to be legal, you need the longer studs.

Re: 15x3.5 Weld Skinnies - Need Longer Studs On Front? That's strange that some cars can get away with a spacer and some still need grinding!
Longer studs with open end lugs, right?
Thanks guys!

Re: 15x3.5 Weld Skinnies - Need Longer Studs On Front? How are you guys changing the front wheel studs without the special "KentMoore" GM tool?? I don't know how comfortable I am with just screwing a lug on and banging them out!!
Any ideas!
