63 Starfire wheel studs!!

I need 1/4" longer wheel studs for my 63 Starfire. Does anyone have a part # or any info on this? I'm not comfortable with the amount of threads left with the wheels I chose.

Vern, I just got through doing this on my 63 for the same reason. Check my thread, post 191:

This a pretty involved process if you do it correctly, don't listen to the "use a big hammer " guys. The front studs have to be drilled and pressed out from the back of the hub and the rear axles need be pulled so the studs can be pressed out and in. In my case the fronts were screwed up from someone doing it wrong in the past so they had to use two or three different studs, sorry no numbers. An advantage to doing the conversion is getting rid of the left hand thread studs on the drivers side. I can give you more detail if needed
