I have 3" studs and about a .5-.75" is sticking out past the lug.

Default Rt-s

Weld RT-S wheels are Drilled / Designed to run 5/8" x 3" long studs with a standard through hole nut on the 5/8" dia. stud.

If you run 1/2" dia. studs or the standard metric studs...
You are supposed to run the 1/2" mag style or metric ( closed ) style nut with a 2" long stud. This is what weld told me on the phone.

I am on factory OEM lugs with the shank style mag lugs and washers and they work just fine, plenty of thread. But I only got bolt ons so no extreme HP

Where is a good place to order the lugs with washer permanently attached? It's a bitch trying to keep the washers from spinning off the lug nut when you have the long stud + deep backspacing.
