All you Weld Draglite folks, a couple of questions w/in...

I'm gonna run Draglites in the rear but wanna know, will the stock wheel studs be okay to use or do I need longer ones? If so, what size should I use? The draglites will be a track only thing, so I'm gonna switch between the stock IROC wheels and Draglites. I'll be using Weld's long shank lug nuts (closed end) and washers but I'm just not sure if the stock wheel studs will pass tech with the Draglites.

Thanks for any suggestions

You're going to need 3" long wheel studs on those rims to pass a tech inspection. Upgrade to 1/2" studs instead of the factory 12mm ones.
