Machining the studs
#11

My first inclination has always been to take the wheels to a machine shop,that handles big stuff and have the holes enlarged. A second operation while in the mill,would be to replicate the chamfer on the hole for stud centering. Yeah, I know the downside is you have an odd wheel. I think that is a small risk.

Still looking for clarity on EXACTLY what Newell does to the stud

A couple years ago while having tires replaced in San Antonio the tire shop broke a few studs in the rear so I had them replace all of them. The service guy and I rode around to about 5 different truck shops and trailer shops before we found the right ones. There were literally hundreds of different studs available in all different diameters, lengths, chamfers, etc.
Surely there are studs out there that can be used with the available rims?

The old wheels are BUD wheels the new wheels are not BUD. The new wheels use a smaller nut so you buy a stud and a nut and turn down the shoulder on the stud. cost stud and nut $20.00 turn stud $15.00 buy the stud and nut @ Truck Parts World Longview Tx. Scott Logsdon 903-757-4572 Then find someone to turn Stud. Call me if you need help Dean Patterson 903-235-8478

I'm due next year to change my front tires. Maybe I'll do this if I can figure it out by then.
Thanks Dean
