Default 1/2" stud question

Just got an MWC rear-end with 1/2" studs. What do i need to fit factory 17" T/A wheels? Is it 1/2"-20?

I recommend an et lug for the rears. It goes through the wheel and clamps the stud at a lower point giving the wheel less advantage to breaking the stud. This is more critical with stock wheels because the design is sorta weak to begin with. You can see where I broke stock studs and upgraded to 1/2" and ET lugs in the link below.
