Yeah, original studs 'should' work on those just fine. It is the double thickness of the hemtt rims that require the change. Btw, I went to a few of the local truck places. One of them had the thimbles for only $1.49 each. So for about $90 I could get an entire new set of them to have machined...

Actually, I DON'T want new studs. I want to put the stock rims/tires back on this truck. So the longer studs are out. Btw, it was with a bench grinder and a bucket of water. Not perfect, but close enough for you to pull your panties out of a bunch. Btw, the ends are square. Actually, they were...

You cannot put a larger stud through the hole in the hub without machining the hub itself. Besides, it is what the stock is anyways.

Oh yeah, I took it slow. That was why I was complaining about how LONG it took to grind just the 20 of them! I never discolored the metal. Plus I let them cool a lot, with air and water. I need another wheel for my bench grinder before I do any more though. It wasn't new when I started, but it...

I think the HEMTT rims are the only ones that are that thick, and need to use either a longer wheel stud, or bud nuts.

Oh yeah, took a few photos. You can see the material that needed to be removed! And now how the nut sits up nice and FLUSH to the hub. Glad I thought about all this and went and worked on it. I sure hope this really straightens up how the rear tires behave at speeds.

Add one more point, it seems that there are different bud nuts, where there is a different amount of off set for the duals. This makes the whole nut stick out further! And to top that off, I had a mix and match set on mine! I pulled the fronts off today and ground them down (the back beveled...
