need new studs to use the aluminum wheels I have or I will have to sell them... I will have to go with a steel wheel like a spoke or something similar... my studs are 1/2"-20 X 2 1/4" they have a .608 knurl on a 15/16" shoulder. I need them between 2 3/4" and 3". I only have about half a lug nut on the current studs with the aluminum wheels.
Does anyone know of a source for studs??? If so, let me know... Thanks guys....
Anthony I have lug nut that have a shoulder on it and they fit in the rim holes. Mine can be a pain to put on cause you have to get all the nuts installed before you tighten. I don't have a pic of the lug nuts.

Paul, my rims are off a 94 F-250. don't those lug nuts use a washer?? my rims are beveled for the beveled lugnuts to fit into. I don't know if that type of nut would work. I have thought of them though. Thought about taking the hub, drum and wheel to a wheel/tire shop and asking what to use??? I am really so lost on this...
Well I hoped that maybe could work but it may not.

These are the only ones with the long Knurled section that press in and fit early Mustang and Galaxie front Disc brake applications I was able to find.
You can start them with a lug nut and try to pull them in all the way, but it's way easier to have someone press them in ALL the way. Loose wheels suck!
I am running stock discs up front with dual piston calipers for the '76 F250 4X4 with a dana 44 full time 4wd front and a dana 60 rear with 2 1/2" drums. The knurl is .608 and the catalogs only show the one stud...(auto Zone, advance, napa, and KOI) I found a longer stud but I am going to have to redrill the hubs a little bigger to accept it. It is dorman 610-651, 1/2"-20 X 2 11/32" with .651" knurl and 15/16 shoulder. I need to open the hubs up .043 to accept the new studs..... the originals are a dorman 610-279, 1/2"-20 X 2 1/4" with a .608" knurl and 15/16 shoulder. This is the only way I see to get the job done.
If anyone has any other ideas, let me know. I will be doing this by next week.... thanks guys...
