idk if this would be safe but you could get the wheels you want and try to bore out the lugs holes just enough so they will fit nice and snug so you want have em slip and what not but then again someone may chime in with better advice though lol

No the rear wheels studs are bigger for drag racing use 5/8 instead of 1/2 and would the drilling out on wheels be safe? plus i would need a pretty thick wheel washer if i did go with that idea know where I could get thick wheel washers?

TTT supposed to be trading I need some help figuring out if they will work or not, Ive never had to drill out any more on the wheels and idk if its a good idea or not surely someone has tried it or something?
I have ZR1's on the back and i'm not sure if the nut you put on the 5/8 stud will even fit. And if it does how will you get a socket over the nut to tighten it down? Unless your ZR1's are different then mine I know that each stud spot has a little whole spot.

does anyone know where I can get some long wheels washers at? my buddy has them on his BS Deep Dish race wheels but idk where he got them and i wont see him for while to ask, maybe someone on here knows? i think they were prob 2 1/2 inches long and i thinki could maybe get that to work on them, the Zr1s are OEM btw
