'68 NYer wheel studs

[TURBOFIRE]

So, I take my car to a locate Wheel/ tire joint to get some new wheels for my car. I ordered and paid for a new set of wheels and tires. They have came in and are ready to have them installed. I have had the car at their shop three times now and still haven't gotten the wheels mounted. The first excuse was they had the wrong diameter lug nuts. Then it was that pre 1970 Chryslers had left hand studs on the drivers side. You guys can confirm that if it's true. Then it was the studs were not long enough and they need to get "ET" lug nuts. Now they say they can't find left hand thread, ET nuts. So now they want to swap out the studs on the drivers side so all they studs match and they are still using the ET lug nuts. I swear if I go in there again and come out empty handed, I'm going to be ticked. I'm tempted to just tell them to give me the wheels and I will have a professional take care of it.

You didn't say what the wheels are you purchased so can not address that..
Yes, the left side stubs are left handed threads...
Whatever the wheels mfg is should have lug nuts to fit their wheels...

Or you can have them changed to regular right had threads. Since they need to be changed and be done with it. If you have drum brakes in front the stud is different from the ones in the back. You can get them at Carquest made by Dorman

This is a tough crowd when it comes to wheels. If you ask an opinion, you will get it...

Really, the question is if you like the wheels or not.

What did you end up doing about the wheel studs?

 

[TURBOFIRE]

I have no problem with an opinion. Just not sure what his is based an emoji. As far as the studs go, I had the driver side studs replaced to match the passenger side.
