Wheel studs info plz I have bs street lites (15x10 15x4) and need longer studs. What are my options? Will I need to pull axels? Is it common to run shorter up front and longer in rear? Stock 10 bolt btw...
Not sure it can be done without pulling the axles. I had to pull mine but Im running a 12bolt and had 5/8th inch studs put in.
If I were to do it again, Id stick with 1/2in studs. Good luck.

I'm gonna say yes yourgonna need to pull em. I had to when i put longer studs in my 9". I was able to get the old ones out but the new ones were too long to get in. You won't have to take em all the way out just far enough to get the new studs into the axle. Hey at least it'll give you a change to check the wear of your gears and do a fluid change!

i didnt pull my axles in the rear, just shaved a lil off the rear and u can sneak em in.
btw ur prolly gonna have to run a spacer in the front correct? if so u r gonna need 3" studs in the front.
i run 3" in the front and 2.5" in the rear i believe. (3" in front because of the spacer)

On the 10 bolt:
If you have 4 channel abs then you can slide the lug stud out threw the abs sensor.
If you have 3 channel abs, you will have to pull the axle.
If you pull the axle out then you can knock all the studs out at one time (thats what i did).
The 2.5" studs are for people that want to run street wheels with hub caps
For the 3.25" studs some tracks require stud to stick out passed the lug nut.
