Default Do the Strange rear ends come w/ the same size wheel studs or are they longer?

If they are the same length, how much longer do I need to specify they need to be so that its legal? I know that the open lugs have to thread in at least the diameter of the stud. Just wanted to know if the stock length was long enough and if not, how much longer do they need to be? Thanks.

Im using Bogarts, but someone from Strange says that they only offer one length for the metric studs vs. many lengths for the standard studs. However, if I were to go with the standard studs, the bolt pattern will be different which makes no sense. What do I do?

the bolt pattern was NOT different with the 1/2-20 studs that came on my strange rearend. The studs I have are 3" long.

Look at your axles.. there are 2 sets of holes. One set is the metric and the others are standard thread. The pattern is the same, but you will need different (standard) lug nuts.

I dont have the rear end yet, so Im unable to do so. However, Strange said that the studs were threaded in vs. pressed in as my stock 10 bolt is. So if I choose to get 1/2 studs, will my Bogarts fit and be able to bolt them on using standard lugs? If so, what total length of studs do I need to get? Thanks.

I have a strange 12 bolt and Bogart rims. The rears fit fine. I needed ARP hardened wheel studs(longer than stock) for the front to fit the skinnies. But the rear comes with hardened studs, so there's no need to change anything. They'll be long enough.

I have no issues with the fronts. The only thing that Im concerned about are the rears. Im afaid that if I go with the standard studs that my rims wont fit. I dont wanna go with the metrics because the only offer them in one length and if I go with the standard, then I could run into fitment issues.
