Does anyone have a code or link to what wheel studs I need for the front of my 68 Charger ? I have disc brakes on the front and a spacer so I need them to be about 1/2 inch longer that the standard rear studs, reason for the spacer is the wheels I want to buy have a 3.75" backspace so I think they will hit the calipers without the spacer, thanks

You might mock em up & see if the wheels clear the caliper as is. Here's a BTT for ya

I have used the 3" MP studs sold by Mancini with good results. Their sales information identifies which studs go with which model/brake application. I have put both front and rear on without issue ('70E).

nothing to worry about with spacers on the front. I know MANY Dakota owners (myself included) who used 5/8" slip on spacers on the front when they ran stock wheels with viper brake calipers.

not a single one had a failure and they are anything but show queens.

a quality spacer and quality wheel studs, once all put together and lug nuts torqued down, is no different than a single wheel with a thicker mounting pad to space it out.

now...I would not use a cast spacer ever. be sure to use quality CNC billet aluminum.
