when pressing in either front or rear wheel studs and upgrading from the
12mm to 1/2" version do they fit without having to drill the flange?? i dont know what my car has but i wanna replace with some arp studs. i do know they are longer but brand i dont know??
rear axles are strange s/t 35 spline. are they press or screw?
part numbers for front and rear will help too, im looking at the 3", strip car only
considering that the 1/2" is an upgrade there are a few to choose from so i wann get the right ones first time
thanks

well i just bought this car in november and as im going through it i noticed my rear wheels have the wrong lug nuts, while doing some research i read some horror stories on studs breaking. its a mwc fab 9" by the way with a spool.
i also read that if they are ARP brand they will not collect rust as mine are in the pics???
also noticed the front wheel studs are different from one side to the other
im running a 415 motor with a 200 shot on slicks wth a brake

My suggestion would be to use a shoulder style lug nut that has a straight shank going nearly all the way through to the back side of the wheel.

i have something like that on mine.. think they were called ET lugs or something.. they just fill the void so there is no slack when you launch hard.. i had stock acorns and bent all 5 so i went to long ARP with the new style lug nuts and feel alot better now about it..
might be able to see the lug nuts in the pic

As far as rust on the rear studs goes next time you remove the wheels just clean up the studs with a wire brush and apply anti-seize or even a shot of WD-40 or similar will prevent that.

ok pulled the wheels off, they are indeed 1/2" and they are the strange 2" long studs, they are screwed on too. i will keep those on till i have to as long as they are a good quality?? i will also order the correct lugnuts from summit for the welds not that i know the size. thanks again for the hep guys
