Would you run these axles?

....depending on how hard the axles are (difficult to tap)
IF you can tap them, that's a good suggestion.
I would just use the 7 /16. Or find 1/2 studs with the same size knurl. (but I have one car with 3" long press-ins and two with screw-in studs in GOOD axles, Strange, and Summers Bros)
Yes, I would run those axles, but I would mount a naked rim, and check for runout (with a drum in place.)
I have only broken 7/16 studs under power on one car, a 55 Chevy with a rat, and a 400 turbo that shifted MUCH too hard.

Will Roger's almost said. "I never met an axle I couldn't tap."
You will never find a 1/2 inch stud who's knurled end is the same size as a 7/16. Because to start with the 1/2 inch stud is a 1/16 inch bigger. Then you have the nurls stick out beyond that in order to grip the axle hole the threaded part had to go through.
I used 3 in and cut them off a 1/4 in past the lug nnu.Using open end lug of course, so tec could see I I had a fully threaded nut.
