Holy pulling tire on 4 lug axles still Batman. Awesome Pratt :rofl:

hahaha Yeah. With having two sets of wheels already and really liking the Syper rims we decided to install 5/8" wheel studs. That is no issue for the welds. But the Sypers had to be machined to make work. So we machined the wheels and pressed in aluminum spacers to fit the 5/8" stud. It took some doing but it worked out very well.

1/2" versus 5/8" drive stud. Looks like a good idea for sure. haha

Stock wheel set up for an acorn lug nut.

Machined flat on the bottom. This gives more surface area for the spacer to contact the wheel

Spacer installed

I have upgraded brakes sitting in the garage for a winter project. They are the 03/04 Cobra/Mach1 brakes. So better brakes and 5 lug. I scored 5 lug Snyper rims too. So we have to machine those for the 5/8" drive studs too. D'oh! lol
