Hi All,
What wheel studs do you use for thicker aftermarket alloy wheels on a Dana 60 rear axle with drum brakes?
About the closest thing I can find is this....

The knurling is too close to the head and it doesn't have the .634 diameter shoulder that helps lock the drum in place.

Thanks much!

 

not sure about your after market wheels,but I used Dorman for my new studs 1/2 or 9/16

 

Just go to a tire shop with your rim, and a lug nut to get the size if you don't know it for sure.

I would say go to the parts store but this is exactly what I did. I got 4 at napa, 3 at autozone, 8 at orielies.... Then thought oh wait what about a tire shop

Parts store- roughly $2.25-2.50 a lug nut
Tire shop- $1.15 each

 

I put oem 16 alloys from 96 f250, very close fit on front calipers, but lucked out did not need to replace the lug studs. hit up local tire shop and got 32 lug nuts.

 

I just put 16.5s on my 95f250.....

 

This is the style I used on my 2wd 76 F250 when I put the 95 F250 aluminum wheels on.

The extended thread portion engages extra threads so that it gets full thread holding power. The stud doesn't even protrude past the lug nut, but still has full holding power due to the extended inner section.



This is my second year running these and have had no problems at all.

 

Broke your center caps too didn't ya lol

 

Nope, these are from the trucks that have the sterling rear end and the rear cap is HUGE and the front cap was from a 4x4, so I just left them off and saved them for if I ever wanted to put the wheels on my 4x4.

 

Well, no luck at 3 auto parts stores and one tire garage. So I looked through the ARP catalog and found their PN 100-7077, it looks good and the measurements are correct, but the price...13 bucks each...holy cow.
