Default LT1 Members w/ Prostars. I need input.

Ive got some 15x8s and 15x3.5s on the way and i have yet to get studs and lug nuts.

So far i know i have to get shank style lug nuts and possibly longer studs.
What i need to know is what you guys went with and the part numbers too.
Im wondering if i could just get some Lugnuts and be fine without getting longer studs.

I did search but have come up with nothing. Thanks for the help guys.

Tony.

nah you need longer studs...just get a set of stock studs from orielys tho because all you need is the threads that are not there on the stock ones because of the blank on the end...the ones you buy there are all thread

first thing's first, read thru this....
http://www.freewebs.com/casper9t9/dragwheelinfo.htm
very good info

check the thread size again.....the lugnuts you need may be different since it is a 93, but on my 95 it required 12mm x 1.5.

do your grinding and test fitting first....you may not have to run longer studs. It is not a requirement, only a safety concern. I am running draglites with stock studs, and have not had a problem. If you can get the shank style lugs to make 5 or 6 complete rotations on the 4 way/lug wrench, you'll be ok.

i would recommend spending the money on some good lugnuts...i bought summit brand and they are already flaking off......don't be cheap, and get either McGard, or Gorilla Lugnuts!
