Default wheel stud problem

okay so i got a phone call from mwc and strang eeffed up and sent axles with holes for 5/8" studs instead of standard sized studs. i know my stock wheels wont fit over 5/8th studs i just dont know what to do as far as getting these to fit. should i wait another few weeks and get the right sized stud holes or get a new set or rear rims?

i would wait that way YOU yourself know its right or not but i think they may make adapters with studs on em so you can take the 5/8 in stud and put that adapter on and run your wheels but idk where to look for em at and heck i may even be wrong about it all together

MWC called me and said the same thing. I think they did it to a few of ours. They did say the stardard studs will still work fine. This is acually an upgrade we are getting for free. I think the shank part of the stud that presses in is the same size and standard studs will work fine. Just keep them. Jason or Eric will explain better.

really? cuz i thought the shank for the 5/8 studd was something stupid like 11/16" or something and people have problems fitting wheels over them. I plan on talking to Jason tomorrow morning and seeing what we can do about it. I really dont want to wait any longer
