Default 5/8 Wheel Studs

Will a Weld Prostar 15x10 fit on a 5/8 stud or do I have to modify the rims or something?

Yes they will fit (holes can be tight the first few times depending on how old the rims are), and of course you will have to use a different lug nut without a shank.

to elaborate a bit more...the 5/8 studs should come with aluminum washers and nuts. you put the wheels on, put the washer on then the lugnut.

The rotors are no fun getting over the big studs (lots of time with a die grinder for me), but the wheels will fit just fine.

Didn't think about that. Great tip.

just drill the rotors out with a 5/8" bit and you're fine.

I know this is an old thread and FYI the stock rotors are already drilled to 5/8". I'm currently installing a MWC Fab 9 and will be drilling out the stock rotors so can anyone who's done this please let me know what size bit used? The stud measurement at the flange is 0.685 inches so I'm thinking 45/64 but want to hear from others before putting in a call to MWC on Monday.

Thanks, Rodger
