Re: Wheel studs (DeenHylton)
Your axle flanges will need to be drilled and THREADED to accept the 5/8 studs. Deen

Re: Wheel studs (mackeyred96)
John, I use the 5/8" studs with the Strange axles. Would 1/2" studs work as well. Seems to me you would need to make sure that there was clearance on the inside of the hub.
5/8" studs are HUGE. :eek: ....But :cool:

Re: Wheel studs (wheelsup)
Thanks Phil, 1/2 would be OK.
I'm more looking for the type of screw in stud more than size.

Re: Wheel studs (mackeyred96)
Most axle flanges are hardened and will require special tooling to drill and thread. On the 5/8" stud the stud fills the hole that's drilled in your wheel leaving no room for error when drilling the axle ( on a 5/16" or 1/2" stud the shank of the lug nut fills the wheel hole on an aluminum wheel). Unless your running big slicks like 31" X 12"wide or something similar you shouldn't have to go to the 5/8 stud. I also ran 5/8 studs in my Ford (514 cu. in. 700 HP 9.50's ET) that was after I sheared two sets of 1/2" studs off in a two month period. :eek:
P.S. I haven't done this to a Corvette so I'm just ASSUMING it would work if you sent your axles out to have the work done...you know what they say about those that assume :lol:

Are you looking for a longer stud, or, do you want the larger diameter. If you are looking for a longer stud try the GM performance part. I run this stud with a 13 mm spacer behind a Weld Dragstar, through a Weld open ended lug nut and get a full 12 mm of extension past the nut. Let me know and I'll post the part number.(it's at my office)

Re: Wheel studs (MJ)
Mike, long term I want to go to the thicker studs but for now a longer one would be find. The Moroso ones I have now are long but maybe your would be better.
Yes, PN please.
