Thread: wheel studs

Tweet

I am still having problems mounting the Torq Thrust wheels on my fifty Chevy. I ground off the rivets on the front and I need to replace the original studs with some that are about 1/2" longer so that the I get enough threads up in the wheel nuts. I have looked locally and connot find the right ones to fit the hub. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to look for the longer studs.
