I red loctited the rears on with no problems, I used arrowcraft adaptors front and rear (steel) and the stock studs did not go through the adaptor all the way.....no one in america makes a long enough wheel stud to go through the adaptor, so I went to the machine shop and had them make me some wheel studs from scratch that are 1" longer than stock....$600 dollars for 16 bolts WTF!!!!! anyways, got em on, no rattles and everything is tite and red loctite on everything!!!!! Just got some 17" eagle wheels, alcoa simultor style and will get them on as soon as my lug nuts get in

X3, NFW I would have paid that. :shock: I bet somebody makes a longer stud, lots of parts places and heavy duty parts places out there.
