Centerlines and wheel Studs

I have been tring to buy wheels that fit and look sweet for about 4 months, i just bought some centerlines, and i noticed that there is not alot of stud left, and i was just wondering if any body else noticed this with centerlines, the demensions are 15X7, 3 1/2 BS. there is about 1/4 of an inch to put the lugs on.

Would i need to get new studs, and if so are they hard to put in??

Are you sure they don't require mag style lug nuts? Mag style nuts have a shank that goes into the lug hole.

i dont know what that is, but these autodrags were on an early 70's mustang. So i put 2 and 2 together and thought that the maverick and mustang had similar or the same components

If they are Autodrags they will use a mag style lug like these. Not sure what length you will need. You will have to measure the thickness of the wheel at the lug holes.

Ok. i have my ties on my centerlines and they got mounted on my car today. The lug that needed to be used was a 1/2 20R. I got some of the Firehawk Daytona 500 tires and they are fat. 215 65 15's Ill try to get some pics.
