i have a set of cragar rims that i want to use on my 77 c10. but the studs don't seem long enough to fit the rim on. can i knock those studs out and put longer ones in its place? or are there extenders that can be put on it to fit the rims?

Are they unilug rims. If so than they take a special lug nut that will install inside the rim grabbing all the threads needed.

I put longer studs in my rear axle... not very hard. Not sure on the front's though.

Can you tell me the brand and or part number for them? I searched all over for factory spec wheel studs (only longer of course) and came up empty handed. My Prostars require longer ones (for the rear only), and the longer lug nuts (McGuard) still aren't quire long enough for my liking.
