Would rear one ton truck wheel studs be longer. Might have to drill out flange to fit them in. My brothers beater mud truck runs one ton dodge wheel studs. Worth a try. I'm sure summit racing has them.

LOOK AT DORMANS CATOLOG BUT THIS IS HOW I DO IT AS THE KNURL SIZE OF NEARLY ALL I SEEN ARE NOT WHAT THEY SAY,YOU CAN DRILL YOURSELF ALSO YOUR CENTER HOLES ARE THERE. USE A BIT YOU MIGHT HAVE OR BARROW,MINE REQIURED A 9/16'' BIT AS WAS RECOMENDED BUT THE STUDS WERE LOOSE AND ENDED UP GETTING BIGGER THAT FIT THE 9/16 HOLE BUT WAS THEIR RECOMEND TO USE A 19/32 HOLE .
