Any idea where to get some longer wheel studs for the rear of the mustang ii? Dormans website is stupid, they give about ten different ones, all of which had different knurl sizes than mine. Also my wheel stud knurl measures about .542 is that correct?

Not too sure on the specifics (it was another guy at the shop who dug up the info when we ordered them) but I know ARP makes long studs in the MII shank size.

I have 8 inch 28 spline axles with moroso 3 inch studs in them. I am not using them any more you can have them if you want. The only thing is one side used a bigger knurled part then the other which I found weird.

Just took a leap of faith with arp wheel studs. I compared dimensions on their MII front wheel studs and the knurl would've been way too big. I ended up using the 2005-up front wheel studs. The knurl was three thou smaller, just barely needing cleanup with a round file. A couple thousandths off made them fit perfectly. If anyone is looking for longer wheel studs to fit stock 8" axles, these are about as close as u can get.
