Good point: If you put on 1/2" studs, can you still use the OEM steel spare
wheel?
I used four 7/16" Moroso studs per wheel when I built my road race car. Never
had a problem, even using 9" wide slicks. Dumb thing is that they come in sets
of five, and three sets leaves you one stud short!
Ramon, does anyone have a knurl diameter that's close to the stock size or is
drilling the only way to go?
Cheers,
Theo
