Does anyone know if I will have to drill my stock stud holes to fit these studs, I will be getting them from summit today but at m&m they say they are what fits?
Cant get the link to work but the studs are

Moroso Front Stud - fits .570-.580'' hole
Moroso Rear Stud - fits .603-.613'' hole

Maximum Motorsports only has two types of studs, the ones listed above and some ARP's but the ARP's are 3.5'' inches long, the Moroso's listed above are only 3'' inches long, which are the ones I will be getting.

Oh, the part numbers are, front #46185
and rear#46180

I didn't have to drill my holes when i used the ARP ones. You should be able to phone a tech and they can get you the ones for a mustang

It's ok if I have to drill them bigger, I just don't want them to be to small I guess, and I'm hoping I will be able to use my 1.380 shank length weld lugs with them since they are closed end lugs, I don't like the open end design ones, I measured the space left in the lugs with the stock studs and I have about an inch left over so I think they will be fine, and if not the new 3 inch studs have a 1/2 inch of the tip with no threads for easy threading so I could just cut the tip shorter if needed, they should be here Friday and I will see, if they fit I will post again to let people know, I'm sure someone else would like to know it you can run closed end lugs on extended studs also.
