Re: drilling cragar super tricks for a 5/8'' stud
Ron… I have several sets of Super Tricks, Centrelines, Weld Wheels they all accept a Standard Mag wheel lug nut which measures .6875". I have new sets of MOROSO and Mark Williams 5/8"(.625") Studs that all measure .6875" on the shank. The description 5/8"(.625) is the thread diameter of the Retaining Nuts to the Axle and the Wheel Retaining Nuts. If your axles have a press in stud, you most likely will have to drill the flange to accept the .625 stud. In theory you should be "good to go". Hope this helps you…Maurice.

Re: drilling cragar super tricks for a 5/8'' stud
I've had two cars with 5/8" studs and not had to drill Super Tricks...some have needed a bit of "help" going on if the floating spacer in between the two rim halves is slightly out of place..

I use a 4-flute, straight-shank counterbore drill with a removable pilot.
Select the appropriate pilot size and a 5/8" 4-flute, straight shank, counterbore drill. https://www.mscdirect.com/browse/Hol...?navid=2106108 |

Re: drilling cragar super tricks for a 5/8'' stud
Ron, just wondering how shug your Super Tricks fit onto the studs. I have 2 different sets of older Centerlines, 1 set are Auto Drags, the others are Pro Stock models, and I have 5/8" Strange studs, which have a thin steel sleeve that is threaded over the studs, to make a close fit to the undrilled holes of my Centerlines. The style of lug nuts that were used with the Centerlines, Super Tricks, and Welds, were shank style , that used the shank portion to take up the difference between the mounting holes in the wheels, and the 7/16" or 1/2" wheel studs most cars had back then. The Super Tricks used to come with aluminum , open end shank style nuts, that could gall up inside the wheels, and NHRA made illegal back in the 70s.

Re: drilling cragar super tricks for a 5/8'' stud
The cragar super tricks fit snug on the 5/8'' stud. The car came with thin holeshot wheels and the moser 5/8'' stud kit that uses a thick aluminum spacer and a flanged nut, with the super tricks the thinner 9/16'' spacer worked out well. There is a good picture of the stud kit on the moser wedsite.
