Just picked up some slotted mags for my 67 coupe. The guy had even taken them off a 67 mustang but the back studs are my car don't even get out the wheel. Where would be a good place to find longer studs and not sure what size I would need. Any help is greatly appreciated maybe even a link.
Here is a picture for reference to determine stud length I guess.


As you can see hopefully sorry not a closer picture but the wheel studs barely poke out of the wheel so a lug definately won't go on.

 

You don't need longer studs, you need lug nuts with longer shanks... Any local auto parts store should have them. if you want longer studs, which is usually a drag or road racing application, go to SummitRacing, or Jegs.

 

First off, you need washers for those oval holes. Something like this:


Then you need nuts with shanks, as noted above:

 

You'll want to find some center caps that fit, too, something like this:

 

Yep, you need the other type lug nuts and washers etc.

 

Thanks everybody always love this site and everyone is helpful. I went to local auto store and found the lugs I needed. I guess now I need to pick up the washers but it can wait because i need new back tires first to run it anyways.
But looks much better now IMO.

now the backs are much wider than the stock wheels i'm using

 

well isn#t that great if you think about getting the right studs, think about the amount of work the change is going to take and then people tell you, nah ... get washers and shanks ... i'd be over the moon :-)
and i'd get the washers before i'd drive that. they belong to those wheels

 

IIRC, make sure that at least 7 threads are engaged, preferably 10. That means 7-10 full rotations by final torque.

 

Are the washers actually needed for the wheels to make them safe and drivable? I thought about getting them but now my concern is the wheels aren't exactly perfect shape so the washers will be shiney and bright and probably look off. Soon i'm going to polish them as best as I can and depending on that might pick some up. I just figured if it doesn't take away from safety that I would just leave them off.

 

OK, I'll put this as delicately as I can. What part of DEAD do you want us to explain? The washers are not decorative, they keep the wheels on the car. And they are never going to "match", because they are chromed steel and the wheel is aluminum. Get them before moving, let alone driving, the car. I have witnessed what happens when a wheel falls off a car, at only 35 mph, and the results ain't pretty.
