Extended lug studs

Post by Kandyorangez »

Trying to source longer wheel studs for my 66 (1/2 inch longer to be exact) I can't seem to locate anything. Does anyone know what options I have???

By 1/2 you mean bolt size 1/2 20 is the thread pattern keep in mind the knurls are different from front to back so it takes two types. I believe i went with 1.25" over on front reason being wheel spacers and wheels being used knurls diameters are the same at .625" but in different locations on stud. There is leeway on knurl size as long as hubs are in good condition i think Arp knurl was .618
