I'm going to need longer wheel studs... which seems to be more difficult then originally expected. The hole in the hub for the stud is larger then most of the options in 9/16-18 and if you upgrade to 5/8-?, they dont seem to offer a 60* lugnut for aluminum rims... just 90* seat for "other" rims ...

The factory studs are 2.5" and I was looking for 3.75" or greater....
What about going with the newer 14mm studs? Does that give you more options that might work?

Converting the rear end to match would be kind of necessary if you used 14mm up front and wanted to run a matching set of wheel locks or like mine a full set of 32 Gorilla wheel locks.
