Wheel/ Wheels Studs Okay Im wanting some wheels for street use, I dont want skinnies at all anymore had them for 2 years just dont like them, problem is I want a stock lookin wheel maybe z06 wheels but I have the bigger 5/8th studs in the back so is there anyway i could make a factory style wheel fit that? maybe get someone to make a set or something, thanks in advance

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?

I think the factory size is 1/2 inch and i have 5/8 so thats an 1/8 of an inch i just dont know how safe that would be, and also idk if the Zr1 wheels without a centercap will go over my spindals or however you spell it

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
