Anyone have press in studs and running 8 spoke wheels?
If so which studs?
I can't seem to get a straight answer from suppliers.
Also what lug nuts did you use?
I know some are tappered differently.

Thanks

I don't have any experience with 8 spokes, but Dorman has a very impressive catalog of bolts etc. to order from!

Should be the 14mm (about 9/16") same as the lug bolts you are running on stock rims . I noticed that the studs from my 90's GM and ford trucks are the same 14mm. Check with your local auto parts store thay should have replacements.

I'm mainly looking for length.
I've gotten different measurements depending on the company I ask.
So I figured someone must run them so I'd get a better idea from them.
