Those with 10" Welds come in
i got them on my car NO SPACERS. spacers are not NHRA leagal and your wheels will fall off!
no, seriously if you use spacers with stock studs you only get about 1/2 inch of threads. and i've known of two cars where the wheels fell off while driving because of this. just grind the chit out of them they are plenty thick.

i ground mine to the point of breaking through them and had to stop or ruin the caliper..was still hitting a bit so i use a baby spacer..lie 1/16" or something..smallest one you can get but its all I needed to get them to clear properly.
you can always run extended studs, which I will be doing when i get around to installing them.

Verdad Gallardo It is not a problem to run longer wheel studs with the Welds.. but where can I find lug nuts that would work with the longer studs for my street tires? I really dont want to run open end lugs on my street tires too.
I run 15x10/7.5 Welds and no spacers. I think you guys are not grinding enuff around the edge, where the pie crust would be.

I can take pictures at some point but I won't be able to for 1.5 weeks.
People tend to grind the face too much. The part that is a bear is where it curves to the sides. The curved part gets the most attention.

but most tech guys dont check esp if you have lugs with hole covered , i used to make the guy take a lug off if they where closed ends ,when i teched at track
when we build most cars we use the 5/8 stud ,than you dont have to worry about spacers ,wheels whatever

No, but a set of ARP 12mm 1.5 knurls are cheap ($25 for 10) and if you can pull your own axles, they are easy to install.
To be honest, I would not run the stock studs if you run a sticky tire on a Weld 15 X 10. But I tend to be over cautious. That's why I run 1/2 studs and Bogarts now.
Oh by the way.....$2000 for Bogarts???? Not even close. They are alot less then that!
