stuck on studs

[miket]

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY WHEEL STUDS ON THE REAR OF MY 57 BELAIR. I AM GOING NUTS TRYING TO FIND SOME LONGER ONES TO FIT. I CANT MOUNT ANY DESCENT WHEELS. STUDS ARE TOO SHORT. ANYONE OUT THERE THAT HAS A SOLUTION WOULD SURE BE APPRECIATED.

Kind of odd.............how long are the ones you have?

Dorman makes longer ones, easy to knock out with a BFH. Pull new ones in with a stack of washers and a stock lugnut.

Your 'new' aftermarket wheels are the culprit... They *may* require a different lug nut (probably do)... Do you have a photo of the new wheel in place with your original studs?? Please show it if you do...

THANKS TO ALL FOR REPLYING. I AM TRYING TO PUT STOCK S10 MAGS ON MY 57. I CANT BELIEVE THE STUDS ONLY PROTUDE ABOUT 1/2" FROM DRUM. I HAVE ANOTHER REAR END AND THEY ARE THE SAME WAY. I HAVE TRIED EVERYWHERE AND THEY SAY THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING W/ THAT SIZE KNERL ANY LONGER. JUST LOST. I CAN BUY DRAGRACE STUDS BUT WOULD NEED CUT OFF.

I had a similar problem when going from factory steel wheels to aluminum, never found studs I liked. Try a Google search for ET lugs (extended thread). It's not a brand of lug nut but rather a style. This type of lug nut has a shoulder that tapers down allowing you to reach the threads closer to the brake area mounting surface.
