wheels stud bolt size???? help!
-
HI, does anyone know what size/thread size the stepdowns used?....I'm wanting to change over from the bolts to studs. I haven't made it into town to match them up so i figured I might get lucky with a quick reply here first. Thanks
-
I guess I get to answer my own question.........anyway, they are 1/2" x 20 and either 3/4 or 1" long....
-
The threaded portion is 7/8"If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

Strictly out of curiosity, why the switch? The lug bolts work better and are stronger to boot (less parts). Are you gaining something by pressing in studs? -

Hey Russel!....good to hear from you. I'm not pressing in any studs...it just sounds like it i guess!.....I have a set of old cragar ss mags with brand new tires I've had put up a while and out of curiousity wanted to see what they looked like on it. I found out quick the bolts were too short to mount the thicker cragar's so off I went with lug bolt in hand and had COMPLETE HELL trying to find some a half inch longer!.....man, it was unreal!......finally found some at advance auto parts. I went to two different bolt companies and said they couldn't get them so I went to home depot, tractor supply, napa, and several others before finding a rack of 1/2" x 20 x 1 1/2" lug bolts!...and they fit perfect!......but no I'm definately not going through the trouble of pressing in studs!......(not that determined yet!)...... -
