    ... maybe with the lighter weight of your Ford, screws are not as necessary. My 'bird tips the scales at 3350 lbs.

    ..... THANKS for all the info! ... So I won't have my rims powder coated until after I get them so I can drill the rims to screw the tires to them....
    John thanks for mentioning about the lug bolts needing to extend out past the lug nuts by the diameter of the lug bolts! I'd forgotten about this! My new 31 spline axles came in so I'm having the 4:11 true track put in on Wednesday. I'll call them tomorrow & make sure that they are using long studs plus I'll have to pick up some lug nuts if they don't have them {I have enclosed ones on there now}..... Thanks again everyone for all the replies...... Bill
