Screw in wheel stud question

[northerngn]

I was wondering what you guys that are running 1/2 in screw in studs torqued them to and did you use locktight on them as well

thanks in advance

Use 100+ ft-lbs and lots of red loctite.

 

[Slow91z]

Loctite yes, i just tightened them down good and tight.

Those are the same lugnuts I went with!!! I like that you can cap them for the street and open them up for tech

Nice work What axles did you use? I have not found any that take screw in studs in a 28 spline

Moser will do them any way you like, i suspect that's true of all the places that make them.

They are mosers+arp bolts+mr gasket nuts

On Jegs and Summit they only have the press in style They are both the cheapest price wise also.

My 28 spline mosers are press in too bought them at dts....What are the benefits of screw in vs press in?

A "right on" that.....Used the set of Gorillas that came with the over priced Billet Specialties wheels on the 55. Immediate issue with the nut tearing the washer to pieces..1 torquing and they were junk.
BS told me "tuff $hit"... Called Gorilla, sent pics, sent failed parts. They sent a new set... Same deal>>junk. [Claimed the nuts were theirs, but not the washers]
McGARDS...Repeat r&r.. never a problem. The guy at McGards just laffed when I told him what was going on...

 

[GNTurboTommy]

IMO McGards are the way to go!

I was told that screw in are better as they distribute the load more even and once you go so fast NHRA Rules state you have to have screw in studs on all 4 corners so they have to be safer for what ever reason. Maybe someone in the know more will chime in and lets all know

My axles are 33 spline Strange

I have found no 28 Spline Shafts with Screw in studs the only way to get them is to custom order them and they are $100 more
