probably should just call summit, my new summit axles came with studs with a .472 knurled but only 1.5 inch long. I'm running drag lites akf would deplore comfortable with 3 inch studs sticking out of the lug nuts. but they dont carry 3 inch 7/16 studs with that knurled size. they do have .460 and
480 which would be the more correct stud. my harbor frieght mic shows the holes in the axles at .450

I sent summit a email. The hole is .450 the knurl at the peak is .472 not sure if another .008 will cause too much of a interference to go in. Jim

got a email back from summit. they said go with the
480 studs but might have to open up the holes a bit. no mention of how to properly open up the holes or what size. jim

no, the axles are drilled for the 7/16 studs and 1/2 in studs. neither holes are tapped. jim

I'm going to order the .480 studs and try to press one in. if not it looks like a 11.75mm drill bit is the size I need to open up the holes. jim
