Brett Johnson (Lotus & Porsche vintage racer) has some 3/8th shouldered
style available. Reach him at

356drb@indy.net

Incidentally, I race Redrum on 3/8ths studs.

Mike on the mag wheels it isn't the size of the stud that holds the
wheel it is the outside diameter of the lug nuts.  I think they are all
the same size in this regard, no matter what size the studs are.  Now
finding a set of 3/8" mag lug nuts isn't all that easy anymore.
I thought about that, but the most common size shaft on a "mag style" lugs
is
.680" not the 1/32 over a 1/2". So I figured these wheels must be using
tapered holes to center the wheel.

Also if you find 3/8 mag stlye lugs, don't tell me, because I looked all
over
for them, gave up and got into this 7/16 stud conversion.
