I'm putting on some 17" Bullet wheels on my 70... Duster with front 73+ disc conversion. I need a 1/4" to 3/8 inch spacer to make them work on the fronts. Now I need longer studs. I can get the lugs to engage for a few threads, but another 3/4 to 1 inch would be perfect as I can use the existing lugs I have.
I've been looking online at so many, that I'm dizzy thinking about what may or may not work. I saw some Mopar, mostly for back wheels and drum brakes, but the knurls are a narrow band maybe a 1/4 wide on the shoulder where as the one I removed from a rotor in my shed has a knurled shoulder about 5/8 wide so it engages the both sides of the thicker disc rotor. I'm not lazy and am trying to do the work and see some late model Ford , Dakota and Jeep studs that might do it, but I'm hoping someone here has done this and might know a part # that will work for this situation. Thanks

Check with @hemi71x
He probably knows what size knurled you need, then it is just a matter of picking a set out of a catalog that has the right length pitch and thread
 
I just ordered some 3" Moroso studs that may or may not work from Amazon. If they don't work I can send them back pretty easily.

Which ones did you order? I need to order some as well. If you don't mind, let us know if they work out ok.
 
I really didn't need the 3 inch studs for the front, so they went back.
Really the only reason I think I need a spacer was because the center bore was too small to let the wheel seat.
I picked up Dorman 610-290 studs and a 3/8 inch spacer now the wheel with a 245/45r17 tire fits with plenty of room.
