Longer wheel studs

[stu’s68furyiiirat]

I have a 68 fury iii with stock lugs I need longer stud than stock I have drums allway around I need some suggestions or direction on where to go any help would be great

Longer studs? To use wheel spacers for some non-OEM backspacing wheels or such?

In many dirt track racing classes, they used to require long studs such that with the lug nuts fully installed, there were a few inches of stud exposed past the lug nut.

Longer studs might compromise the installation of any factory hub cap/wheel cover, fwiw.

Here's what you need for the rear.
Do your research on the fronts. Changing front drum studs is a chore.

I just want to change the studs not the drums

I just want to change the studs not the drums

That's cool.
But wait. What holds the drums on the hub?
Oh yaaaa,,,,, the swedged in studs that you want to replace..........

I might need different lug nuts not sure to be honest

 

[stu’s68furyiiirat]

Not sure what you all think longer studs or lug nuts

I'd worry more about that rotten rubber than I would the studs right now!

 

[stu’s68furyiiirat]

I know right on the rubber it has 20in wheels I didn’t like them so I found these with rotten tires just to roll on in yard till done so longer studs

Definitely not enough thread engagement.
Are those wheels supposed to use a through style lug nut or conventional conical seat?

 

[stu’s68furyiiirat]

Not the ones on it I think the conical seat so it lines up centers the wheel

NHRA rule is same engagement as stud diameter.
So 1/2" stud, 1/2" thread engagement in the nut.
