Well I picked up a pair of draglites the other day. Yesterday I tried to figure out where I would have to grind or maybe BFH stuff. I now have another problem, the lugs that came with them are too short.

I have the shorter, longer ARP wheel studs. These draglites supposedly came off a 99 Trans Am, I can't imagine how he used these lugs though.
With the washer installed:

With the washer removed:

With the washer removed the lugs are still just short of the lip of the opening?
Here is what the lug looks like on the stud:


Does anyone know what I want to order?

Also are these Hoosiers pretty whipped?






If they are toast, no big deal I got a pair of never mounted 555r with the wheels when I bought them. Still curious though, maybe I'll just run around on the Hoosiers and see if they rub anywhere, take care of any issues and then mount the Nittos.

I already have a pair of new tires, so I will just swap them out. Thanks, I thought they looked pretty sad.

Anyone have an answer to my lug question???

Anyone? Should I just run a small spacer, or does anyone know what lugs I want to buy?

I think these are the studs I am running:
ARP Wheel Studs, 12mm X 1.5, 2.5" length (late model Camaro, Firebird, and Corvette)

Corey just get the open ended lugs and dont worry about running any spacers as long as it has the right backspacing and its not rubing anywhere.

Oh and yea those tires are ****. I ran my Mickey Thompsons down to the cords but I would NOT run dry rotted tires like that!!

Get those Nitto's on and finaly get into the 11's!!!

Thanks for the advice! I'm gonna order some open ended lugs.

I hope they won't rub anywhere, they seem awfully close to my bumpstops though? I hope to get some time next week to get them back on the car to see where I might have clearance issues.

I cut my bumpstops off to get my 315's in there, unless you do some offroading you wont need them haha

the sides of your tires are getting sliced up.

Those lugs are fine.. the shoulder goes into the lug hole of the rim to center it.. it should be at leas 3 threads from the hub.. they shouldnt bottom out on the hub/rotor, or else the tire would wobble on the studs shoulder.. you have the correct lug as long as you can put them through the rim and they dont go all the way through.. as long as they grab more than 8 threads, you should be fine... ditch the tires or use them for a burnout contest and finish them off...
