wheel stud ?
wheel stud ? I am have apr 2.5 length wheel studs on all fours. For some stupid reason I thought I was going to need open ended lug nuts. I have draglites. I am not sure of the off set I have had them forever and am just now putting the car back together, plus Im not sure how to measure them.
Question is w/ the rears on the car the studs stick out pretty good. The fronts I have spacers but w/ the wheels on it just seems like the studs are even w/ the face of the wheel? Is this ok if I use some deep shank style lug nuts like from weld?
Sorry, prob a stupid post but just bothering me!

The reason for open end lug nuts is so that it can be seen that the nut fully engages the stud , without having to take the stud off. By merely looking in the end of the nut they can see that the stud goes all the way through the threaded part of the nut. If you are not going to the track, then open end lugs are not needed, but, if you go with closed end shank lug nuts make sure that the stud doesn't bottom on the end of the lug before it seats on the wheel. These wheels require the lug to clamp down a little on the 2 halfs and the center plate to work correctly.
