So i was taking off my rear wheels to clean them up from all the driving i've been doing in the Camaro the last few days.. and i had to find a SUPER thin wall socket to get it over the lugs.
Once i got the lugs off... I notice the studs were looking a bit...... crooked.
So i pulled the axle out... and all five of the studs were twisted.
Same on the other side as well. They are Strange grade 8, 1/2 inch studs.
I have been enjoying the fact that the car has been hooking up like crazy in 2nd and 3rd gear once the tires get warm. Actually i have been quite impressed. They are the Nitto NTO5's. 335/19's.
The car has been running 750-760 rwhp... so i would expect it to blow the tires off... but it pulls nice instead.
Anyone ever hear of this from a "street car"... it has yet to see a dragstrip... and has yet to be "hole shot'd".
I had to cut them off flush to the axle... then replaced them with some grade 9 studs. Please don't tell me i have to drill the axle and the wheels to put some bigger studs in there.....
