My stock 10 bolt axles have the 7/16 short studs. Not really wanting to replace all the studs. 16" x 8" Mickey Thompson Classic III Polished Wheels. These things look great in my opinion but are a bitch because of the small lug openings a 1/2 drive 13/16" socket barley clears so i usually start with a 3/8 drive non impact thin wall socket. Has anyone else had this issue i can do the brakes faster than putting these wheels back on. My rims with 3.75 backspacing have about 1/4" room. Steel rims would at least be easy to put on. If theres some special method i'm all ears Thanks
