Not sure but I have 5/8" studs on my street car and it has SSBC rear disc brakes and an parking brake and had no issues. But again not the same set up. The rear of the stud does protrude a bit, uses a locking jam nut, maybe 3/8" stick out on rear.

Yes they do I actually have a couple sets. Can measure the head on one gimme a minute
The screw in stud is just under 3/8" total stickout behind the axle,
Thew shank style studs, and I just measured three sets, two strange and one from Mar Williams are all just under 3/4" stockoout past the rear of the flange.
I am not a huge fan of the screw in ones as they use a screw in "shank". Just a personal preference.

I've had the same bolt-sleeve 5/8" studs in my Strange axles over 35 years and no problems. Grantid, my car is just a stock eliminator car but I've never had any problems. Keep the nuts torqued tight and you shouldn't have any problems, after all there's quite the difference between 1/2" and 5/8" in strength.

I have no other choice but to use the strange studs.I’m getting new mark Williams axles made up with both stud sizes. Present axles have 1/2 strange screw in bolts which are slightly bent. so you are going with the 5/8" studs with the 1/2" screw in shanks or 5/8"-5/8" screw in shanks ? if getting new axles, why both stud sizes ?

They are a bit of a PIA to install. I know since they are in my axles. That said, no issues since. If it needs good aftermarket axles, it needs 5/8" studs. That's a no brainer.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

What wheels are you guys running with your 5/8" studs. I'm learning that wheel options are kind of limited with the 5/8" studs. As long as they are not an acorn seat wheel they should work with the big studs. This is providing the wheel has enough room around the lug to use the proper spacer and larger nut required. Both my street wheels and race wheels needed no mods when I moved to 5/8 studs. I am speaking for the 5/8 drive lug with the smooth shank on the stud and fine threads on the end. I know there is a 5/8 fully threaded stud that I believe is used in some circle track stuff and I have no idea what works with those.

I've got Draglites now, but looking to go a different direction. My 5/8" studs have the 11/16" smooth shank if I remember correctly.
