Silly question i guess. All you need to do is just drill and tape the axles for the 5/8" studs right? Or should i just leave in 1/2 wheel studs with my 700 HP M6 car?? Will factory 10 spoke SS wheels work with 5/8" studs?? THANKS!!

 

I would leave the 1/2 in there. Don't think factory wheels will fit over the 5/8.

 

factory wheels will not fit over 5/8 inch studs

 

5/8" WILL fit in stock rim.

-first picture is a 5/8" stud in stock 17" trans am rim.

-second picture is stud with lug nut in stock 17" trans am rim.

-last picture is with the socket on it so you can tighten it down.

and i ordered my axles with both 1/2" and 5/8" patterns in them. so i have 1/2" in there now. an d when i go faster i can switch out to 5/8"

 

Assuming this will be on a soon to be bought 9".

You will bend/break your factory studs if you actually try racing it and you maybe in the situation where you are going fast enough need longer/thicker studs.

My 12 bolt is drilled for factory, but when I upgrade I will have them modded for 5/8" They are going to be placed inbetween the factory drilled holes and just remove the 1/2" stuff.

 

Wrong.... We slapped my stock formula wheels on MIGHTYMOUSE's car for the drive to Memphis last year (raining like hell and didn't want to be on DR's). He has 5/8 studs.

 

well maybe the 16" wont. but my 17" stock CETA rims. and my bros stock 17" ws6 rims both bolt right on. so IDK

 

tried my brothers 16" factory camaro wheels on a 12 bolt he bought from stangeater01 on here thats has 5/8 studs, and it will not fit.... just going from experience with that. dont know about the 17 inch wheels but didnt think they were different

 

dont mean to high jack this thread but can you take out 5/8" studs and put in 1/2" studs?

 

stock formula wheels are 16's... The camaro wheels should also fit.

 

i guess no one knows the answer to that question?

 

that was after you drilled them out right? because i have some ZR1 wheels that need alot of work to fit on my studs. i can not find a nut to fit in the rim pocket.

 

Never seen it done. the hole is 1/8 bigger. You would need to have the shoulder on a 1/2 stud 5/8. don't remember anybody making those.

 

why would you want too? thats a big down grade>

 

b/c i got a used rear with the 5/8 studs and they wont fit over my rim or my rotors. anyone drill out the holes on your wheels and/or rotors?

 

just got my ZR1 wheels on the car had some spacers made on a lathe. i have the specs if anyone needs them.

ill put up pics soon. i got this idea from Hunter02ss thanks buddy

 

for those that have fit the stock wheels over the 5/8 studs, what lugnuts did you use? 5/8 acorn style?

 

Are people breaking high quality 1/2" studs?

 

I twisted the 1/2" studs that came on my moser 9" axles. I upgraded to APR 1/2" studs. Hoping these won't bend like the others. I personally do not want to go to 5/8".

 

Where did the lugnuts come from that will work with a 60° seat style wheel? I have a hard time getting my socket in the opening of my wheels with 12mm studs.
