Need some help with racing rims, please.
I need a little help here. I did a search and didnt find what I was looking for.
I want to be able to run my new Pro Stars without changing the studs off the rearend and front end. Right now the studs will not be long enough to thread the lug nut on with the Pro Stars. And I do not want to change to longer studs because I will no be able to run my GTA rims on them with the black caps. I would have to cut a hole in the caps to put them on, or run the GTA rims without them and have long studs sticking out through.
What do I do??

Find a different style rim.
Use proper wheel nuts for that rim but never be able to pass tech.
Use longer studs and live with the studs poking through the end of the factory nuts when factory rims are reinstalled.
Actually here's a fourth option. Have another set of axles with longer studs installed. Swap out the axles whenever you want to use the Prostars.
