1972 Blazer Bigger wheels - bigger lug studs
hello, I recently put 20x10 XD wheels on my blazer with 35" nitto trail grapplier MTs and 1.5" spacers on the rear with 7/16-20 lug studs all around. I backed the truck up about 30 ft and one of the lug studs on the spacer sheered off. I removed the spacers, but am wondering if I should upgrade the 7/16-20 lug studs in the rotors and drums to 1/2-20.
I was wondering if anyone has ran bigger wheels and had any problems sheering 7/16-20 lug studs with bigger wheels on rotors, drums and spacers? Also need to decide if I am going to run spacers too? Thanks |

Re: 1972 Blazer Bigger wheels - bigger lug studs
Pretty confident they are 7/16-20 but will double check this weekend. I am just curious if anyone has had any problems running bigger wheels with 7/16-20 studs.....

Beauty. I like the color with the wood grain trim.
