Default Quick Help, Stud Question

I'm choppin the studs on my new 9" by about .5" so the regular lug nuts will fit, not the open ended type

The studs are 1/2 but my 1/2 Fine Thread Dye is shaving some metal off of it when i'm running it down the stud?

Are studs on a different type of thread? Or is it just b/c of rust, crud etc?

After starting the dye, you can see the shiney metal on the stud

I was just wondering if I had the right dye or if these use a different thread pattern

I think most of the 9" studs are 1/2 x 20, make sure your dye is that pitch.

The studs would be metric 12x1.5 if the 9" was built for a 4th gen F-Body.
