I am home form college for the summer and finally putting in the Dana 44 rear I got. It didn’t come with wheel studs so I went to the auto parts store and picked up some stock rear studs. Turns out they are too small.

Anyone have any idea what size or type I need. I want to keep the same lug nut size.

Here is a picture showing what the problem is.

Measure the hole size, and see if you can get studs of the correct thread, with whatever size shoulder to fit that hole. You might be able to get that, but there's no guarantees.

You may have to drill the flanges.
