    :huh: Anyone know the stock wheel stud length & knurl for a 77 Mav ?? I know the stud is 1/2 x 20 and I thought the knurl was .625 and the length was 1 5/8" ??
    Guy at Autozone says he shows 2 sizes of 1 7/8" or 1 13/16" ? Don't have it here right now to pop one off to check.

    If the knurl is the same either should work. Don't know why there would be different lengths but if I had to guess I would say different factory lug nuts would be the reason. My Comet come with the magnum wheels and closed style acorn nuts with little dinky studs (compared to the 3 inchers on my current rear axle)

    I have gotten into a wheel stud nightmare also.My axles are suppose to be out of a 68 mustang and i cannot match up any.The knurled part is too big on all the studs i have tried to use.I would like to see how this pans out.Derek.

    I think I'm just going to go with the ARP .625 3.5" at Summit.
