    I dumped the pro stars for wheels that do not cause these issues.

    Cliff note version. the prostars use a long 1 3/8" shanked lug nut because the area of rim that the studs has to pass thru is long leaving very little stud protruding past the rim.

    The centerline convo pros use a 1/2" shanked lug allowing much more stud to pass into the hex portion of the lug nut.

    On my wheels with a 1" spacer the studs go past the end of the lug nuts. Remember the top 1/2" of the ARP studs are not threaded.

    i plan to pic up different lugs with a shorter nut length, and that will help that out. think i have made 10-12 trips of 30+ miles to the track with this setup, and more than 50 passes with it. so i am not worryin anymore.

    Good pics.......You pass tech every time with that setup?

    I usually pass with my fox with weld draglites in the front, stock length studs,closed end lug nuts....

    I just tell them they are extended studs but have not bought open end lug nuts......

    That doesn't really do anything other than make it look better. The lugs could be 2 feet long (curb feelers) and it would be legal as long as there was 1/2" of stud thread engagement in the hex portion of the lug nut.

    The NHRA rule is that you must have lug nut hex head thread engagement equal to the diameter of the stud. We use 1/2" studs so to be completely legal you must have 1/2" of the threaded portion of the stud threaded into 1/2" of the hex portion of the lug nut. The non thread portion of the ARP's does not count for this 1/2".
