Wheel Studs

When you put the bogarts on with the 5/8 studs that you have,is there a lot of space between the wheel stud hole and the stud.Does the wheel move back and forth?.The od.of the 5/8 stud is .625 ,and the hole if you were using a shank nut would be .685.The only nut that seems to be available for the 5/8 course stud is flat on the back were it presses against the wheel.The cars that I've seen using 5/8 studs are using a M-W stud kit,that has a 4" stud that threads in the axle flange.then there is about a 2". 685.bare shank in the center
that goes thru the wheel and is tight inside the hole.It then has a threaded portion that you put a spacer and nut on.The Jegs 5/8 course stud might be better suited for a circle track car with a steel wheel,were you would use a beveled nut to center it in the hole.See what you come up with and keep us posted. gsa612
