You can. but why not got 1/2"? They fit without drilling the wheels and they're slightly larger in diameter which makes them stronger. Bob

No fenders are stock. Just need adj lower arms cause they gotta be perfectly centered.

I know this idea sucks but it may be required for safety and piece of mind.

This is correct. The style of clamping is where you increase or decrease youre shear strength of your stud. If you look at the link I posted I describe the differences and show what I did to help the situation...

Stock wheels use conical seat lugs, you cant change that. Drag wheels use a shank lug and washer, which is much better. Gotta change wheels to runs those.

They will need to be an open ended lug to allow the long stud to pass through.
