Kelsey Hayes longer wheel studs
So, I took a shot and bought the long studs from Pentastar. Nothing ventured, nothing gained is my rationalization. :mrgreen:
Basically the area of concern with these will be towards the face of the hub, the shoulder ends lower than where it normally would. Theoretically, the longer stud will provide a greater mechanical advantage thus (perhaps) negating any marginal contact area. And like someone said above, the wheels will be cranked down.
Now only if there was 1.3" shank, open-end lug nut with a 4mm conical end it could take up the space of the shorter shoulder but there ain't anything like that out there.
Wish me luck, will post here when they arrive.
