[Chrysler300] WAS: new wheel studs NOW: Wheel nuts

[brian hagen <brian.hagen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I posted a question about replacing the wheel studs on my 63 Chrysler  
because the standard 1 inch studs didn't give allow the lug nuts to  
grab enough with my vintage Cragar rims.

It was suggested that I use some 3" Moroso wheels studs instead, but  
it seems from some that the job of replacing them isnt the easiest.   
I thought I would just have to drive out the old, and put in the  
new... but maybe its a bigger magilla than that.

The newest suggestion was to use specific Cragar wheel nuts with a  
longer shank that goes into the rims itself.  They come in different  
lengths and diameter so I'll have to try to figure out ones that will  
fit.

For comparision I posted some photos of the rims, and I used a DIME  
to show the approx size of the holes in the rims.  The rims  
themselves are vintage 1969 Cragar rims, the only ID number I have is  
26129 from the boxes.

Anyone know the diameter of a dime? ;-)
