12 bolt / 24 bolt wheel stud compatibility?

[Chaski]

Anybody know if the wheel studs are identical between any of the different wheel styles? I can get a cheap 24 bolt wheel shell, and I'm curious if the studs would work in my late style 12 bolt (non conical washer) wheels.

Thanks for your time,
Peter.

They are not identical but yes, they will work fine.
The only difference in size is the knurled section which is 3mm longer on the 24-bolt wheels.

How cheep is worth while? I have seen the rims new with studs selling for under $25 per rim.

From the picture it looks like my 12 bolt wheels have the longer knurled section. The studs off my later style 12 bolt wheels have a knurled section about 7/16 or 11mm. That should be perfect, I can purchase (for $35) and ship just one wheel shell to harvest for 24 spare studs. Below is a link to a photo of the one I removed from my 12 bolt wheel.

After some quick reading, my 8 bolt and even the 12 bolt is not safe above 50mph. Best bet is the 24 bolt rims posted above fot safety and budgetary reasons.
