Is there anyone on here using a 5/8 wheel studs with the Street lite wheels. Will the studs go through the wheels as they are or will i need to drill them out to fit. I am going to build a Dana for my Charger and thinking about using 5/8 studs.

My 5/8 studs slid through perfectly and the large aluminum lug nut spacers fit perfectly too.

I put a a set of 15x14 on my dart and had to clearance the holes for the studs a friend used a set and they had to be clearance also both cars use the 5/8 stud and don't plan on running tubes with them as the hole for the tube is to close to the edge of the rim and will rip it also there is a back spacing clearance issue with disk brakes they are a great looking wheel but a pain in the A$$ to fit to the car

It might depend on what brand Stud you use. I'm not sure what brand mine are. I also have drum brakes on the back of my car so they fit fine.

It may have something to do with the studs. I know Moroso 5/8 studs screw into the wheel and has a shoulder on them. I think Strange 5/8 studs are just a 5/8 bolt that is threaded all the way down and don't have the shoulder. That may be the difference.

Yes they are lighter, a little harder to keep clean but look great.

If you use a M/W wheel stud kit as I have, you may need to grind down the nut, as it has a washer head on it. That's what I had to do on my Centerline Qualifiers--(basically the same wheel).
