Thanks.

You're correct, .65mm is equal to .0255" . It does put some stress on the studs, I am running ARP extnted studs and a custom 1/2" & 1" hub & wheel centric spacer made for these wheels..Some people had issues with the wheel nuts loosing up,

I haven't had that happen. I also have been checking the lugs after each drive so far and all is good. I may get flamed here... But I would also say "how accurate" are some of the lower end wheel's bolt hole spacing people run and have no issues? I hope it works out if not I'll have wheel adaptors made. And thanks for the complement

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

These are supposed to work. Varinuts, they are about 1/4 of the way down the page. I am sure somebody makes these with inch measure treads. I do not know anybody that has used them.
