Wheel Studs

I have always used Mark Williams 5/8" drive studs , which has an 11/16" shank which fits snuggly into the lug holes in my Weld Wheels . Never have had a problem with that setup . If you buy new axles , I would recommend switching to that setup .

Thanks
YEAH agree about the seating.
When the new ones were pressed in they appeared well seated.

At the track checked them with a torque wrench to 85#.
The torque wrenched clicked but did not feel seated the Lug Nut kept moving.

So tightened to 110# where the Lug Nut stopped moving.
Loosened and retightened, it likes 110#.
