FYI those are not drag radials, they are a bias ply tire. What wheels are they? They appear to be Weld Draglites. If so, let me know, and I'll point you in the direction of the lug nuts you need.

All you need is extended shank lung nuts. You can find them at Summit, Jegs, or several different sponsors. The thread for stock studs is 12mmx1.5

i got some. there about an inch they dont thread as far on the stud as i'd like them too though. but the rims is rubbing the caliber so we cant even get the 5 nut in.

You need extended wheel studs and you're going to have to grind down the caliper

For Weld Draglites, you will need to grind the rear calipars down to clear the brakes. Many have done it, it's not a huge issue, just time consuming. Lots of putting the wheel on, looking for clearance, removing, grinding, repeat. I've found it easiest to grab some black spray paint, put the wheel on loose, spin it, check to see where the wet paint rubbed off, grind there, and repeat. You really need to run a ARP 3" stud with those Weld wheels (Part # ARP-100-7713) if I remember correctly, and the open end Weld 1.380" shank lug nuts.

Studs you should use:

quick question. with these longer studs, can i swap out my M/T's w/ my stock rims and tires or do i also have to swap out the studs everytime too?

You can keep the studs, you will just have to buy open end 12mm "Acorn" style lug nuts to fit your stock wheels if your stock lug nuts are not open at the end.

okay awesome i have plenty open ended ones! big thanks for the help, your cobra and camaro' look awesome.

hey i found these studs. they come in a pack of 5 instead of 4 and about 20 dollars cheaper each set. BUT there 3.25in in length not 3.5in. this would save a bunch of money

also same thing. i found these on summit, there a set of 5. so now i wouldnt have to buy 3 sets just two and have left over ones. but the only thing about these are the length.

I ued 7708's on my draglites on my old z28 and the lugnuts threaded pretty far onto them but the stud didn't come all the way through the nuts. I would just order the 7713 studs they are 3/4" longer I think
