greg g Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 You can buy studs in just about any length you need. They are usually just pressed in on a hydraulic press. No welding involved, thier design has a shoulder with some tapered ribs that retain them in place and prevent twisting when you put the lug nuts on. Quote
