For those of you running 5/8" wheel studs, what wheels are you running? I'm just doing a little brainstorming on which wheels to run on my 66 Dart.
Thank you! What wheels to you run? Do you have any photos?Most any aftermarket wheel will work fine except 5 x 4 Small pattern
as lug holes are smaller on them.
They are fastened on the face of the wheel instead of lug nuts on
all our race cars.
I run them on most all of our drag cars since losing an axle and chopping
down the tree literally a few years back. They are WAY stronger and well worth
the extra expense on the drive axle.
You took the tree out? You're famous. I caint believe I'm postin on the same forum with you. lolMost any aftermarket wheel will work fine except 5 x 4 Small pattern

Heck yeah! I'd do it again! LOLThanks Buddy!
Only cost me 3 Broken ribs and some Bruises.
Worth it for the cover Of Hot Rod and entire back page
AND cover of Car Craft and center two pages = I guess so?
I still recommend the 5/8 studs instead!
When I had my Holeshot wheels made… drilled for 5/8 studs was an option … I had them doneHeck yeah! I'd do it again! LOL
I think any standard wheel that doesn't use Acorn nuts should work with a 5/8 drive stud. I run Billet Specialties Street Lites for my street tires and HoleShot Holestars for my drag radials. Niether required modification when I made the move to larger studs.
JMO but whenever you do an axle upgrade, and unless you never plan on going faster make the move to the big studs. I did it when I moved to a Dana 60. I would say this is especially true when running a drag radial, or radial slick as the sidewalls are less forgiving and more abuse it put on the studs.
If you run a steel wheel or acorn seat then things are more difficult but there is people that do it.
