Wheel Studs - Page 3

Quite a difference between 1/2 & 5/8,
Proof load for grade 2-5-8 for 1/2 stud = 8800-13600-19200
For 5/8 stud = 14100-21800-30700, a good 30% + - stronger across the board
I always heard not to use the grade 8 because it's to hard & brittle, use grade 5. Not sure what they use from Strange or Moser.

They fit the wheels perfectly when I got them back. Turn around was very quick as well.

He's going to need 10 new holes indexed,drilled and tapped.The current knurled stud hole is bigger than a 5/8 threaded stud.Hope it don't have 1" lightening holes between the existing holes then your SOL. gsa612

My axles were drilled for both 1/2 and 5/8 screw in studs. The axle flange still isn’t the weakest link.

Contact Mark Williams.
They solved my moser problems that moser just could not.
Many length 5/8 studs, washers, lugs and associated parts.

Grade 8 is stronger across the board, including tensile. My Moser axles are tapped for 5/8" x 18 thread bolts, so I just buy long enough bolts. If the wheel hole is much bigger than 5/8", you could get sleeves or find studs with larger unthreaded areas. People who think grade 5 is better, why does ARP make bolts and lug nuts?

Something like, the harder it gets the more brittle it becomes.
