Hi there,

Did you have to get longer wheel studs and if so how long.?

I have a 73 that the PO put torque- thrusts on and the studs only make it about half way through the lug nuts.

Why were you parked outside whatever event was going on?

Well, that answers what I'll do when I have to replace my wheels!

Beautiful combination.

I did the same thing - PVD Black Chrome Torq Thrusts, and the VB&P 550 front springs.
