Default Wheel Studs which ones?
What wheel studs are you guys using with your 9in rears?
12mm long, 1/2 long, or are you upgrading to 5/8.

Thanks

if you plan on only running race wheels (welds, etc)...do it once and do it right...go with 5/8...

Glad that you're making sure to get the best possible studs for your setup. I didn't, and got a first hand lesson in why hardened studs are better.

I haven't heard of anyone breaking the ones I got. The stock ones yes, they break on the open road.. I have had that happen before. I run the Summit Stars, and have had no Problems with them.
