    Just to let you know...i caught crap last year about not having long enough studs. now i have new axles and i went with 3" studs, you might get away with it depending on how fast your running.

    in the nhra rulebook it is stated as:

    the thread engagement on all wheel studs to the lug nut, or lug bolts to wheel hubs, must be equivalent to or greater than the diameter of the stud/bolt. length of the stud/bolt does NOT determine permissibility.
    ( a 7/16" stud must be thoroughly engaged through the threads in the hex portion of the lug a minimum of 7/16")

    I remember those. Its a one piece rim guys Like dereks trying so hard to get across. LOL. They had cheap plastic fake rivet things that went hard and crumbled away into plastic heaven. My buddy had a set with awful yellowish plastic plugs. Looked terrible.
