The car looks nice with the wheels, draglites were my first drag wheel til i traded for a set of prostars. As for wheel studs most people go with ARP, I have 2.5inch in the front and the 3.25 out back. They look kinda silly with the stock wheels on back but they don't look weird with the shanks and prostars on.

Front studs are rather easy... rears you need to pull the axles out.

Looks good, btw.

You dont need to pull the axles out for the rear if you dont want too. Just remove the senosr on the back of the brakes and slide them in through the little hole there took me about a hour to do all four corners.
