Hi!

I just bought a set of 15x8 Prostars that I'm going to put on my stock rear end for drag use. Do I need to install 3" studs or if it's just necessary for 6.5" bs ones (15x10s)? If I still need to install 3" studs and I don't, is it dangerous on ET Drag slicks?

Thanks for your help, it's appreciated.
Regards.

You can run the stock studs. You just need shank style lug nuts. 1/2" x 20RH, 1.380" shank length, .685" lug nut shank diameter. You can get them in either open or closed end at Summit. Hope I helped.

It depends. Any NHRA sanctioned track wont let you run a slick or DR unless the stud comes out past the lug nut. This also means that you have to have open ended lugs. If you plan on going to a track you will need long studs.
