Re: Wheel Studs
Make sure that the lug nut shank isn't too long and bottoming out. Everything I've had has the shank about 1/8" shorter than the wheel center is thick. Gotta be careful with press-in studs that may have a slight "shoulder" sticking out.
Lug nut shank diameters can also vary. It surprised me when doing some searches on Summit's site. A little too small can be just enough to pound the stud to the breaking point.
Make sure the holes in your wheels aren't worn or ovaled.
I've been using 1/2" Moser studs on my CM for 18+ years without breakage. Axles assemblies were changed twice over the years and were still good. Just upgraded to lighter axles. The original axles I had didn't have the Moser decal, but had M/E welded into the register.
