This has turned out to be a great thread. Will a 5/8 stud go through a Weld wheel?

I guess I could have the stock rims drilled and retapered to fit the 5/8's but I dont think I'll need to go that big for a year or two. Try goin to autozone and getting lugnut for a 5/8" lol

I've got a Moser 9" and my friend has a Strange 12 bolt, with 1/2" X 20 screw in studs. We run at Gainesville Raceway in Florida. The track hooks so good the we both bent hell out of our studs. We put screw in ARP's back in, if they bend I guess 5/8" it is.

Not too bad if they don't break. You did say you need them for a rear you spent over 2 grand on, didn't you?

Pay to play!
