bump?

is there a reason you want prostars? I went with the Jegs sport stars for that reason. They use a conical lug nut like stock so you dont have to worry about that.

opportunity came up and i couldnt resist. Ive talked with our track techs they didnt need longer studs, just half the threads on the lugs would need to be threaded to pass tech.

NHRA rules state that hald the diameter of the wheel studs as to be into the hex of the lug nuts. so if you have 1/2 wheel studs, they have to go 1/4 into the hex of the lug nut

you dont have shanked lug nuts for your pro stars?

PeteGT · April 8th, 2010, 10:10 PM

I was gonna grab some, next week sometime. I'm just curious to see if ppl still run stock studs with them and if i should grab short or long shank lugs.

I have stock lugs on my car.... You need long shanked lugs. You can get them at autozone. There's are 3/4" I think. You really need 1" but 3/4" will work. That's what I have.
