skinnies??

mrmustangconvert · 12-20-2007, 05:13 PM

ive got the skinnies on but i dont want the wheel to come off going down the track 100+ mph. i just want to know if the deep shank lug nuts work, or do i have to get longer studs for the front?

Are you using spacers. If not, you shouldn't even be remotely worried. If you are, then you'll probably still be okay, but make sure you have ample threads engaging the lugs.

. . . it won't be legal, but you shouldn't be losing any wheels.

The deep shank lugs will be fine. I believe those are the only things you can use on prostars correct?

Thats what I use on mine and I have one inch spacers. Never had any studs break or lugs come loose. I don't like the longer studs because they would stick out on my street wheels
