I'm using bolts on my flat 4 BRM's, so need for studs and all that jazz. Makes it simple when I store the car on its stock wheels for the winter.
I'm also hoping to try running my car on slicks once or twice this year, and my local dragstrip requires studs/nuts to be used with slicks.

SOOOOOO I've been digging around online as a way of keeping myself entertained while I count down the hours until I can actually go work on my car, and I seem to have found some conflicting opinions on the subject of threaded vs press-in lug studs... I've seen some people say that thread-in studs are fine for most applications, but others say that they're completely useless and dangerous... I'm having a hard time sorting through the BS and I want to make sure I don't wind up making my car a deathtrap by using the wrong hardware to install my wheels soon. Please help!

If you are even thinking about using slicks then use press in studs on rear, on front screw in studs with some thread lock work fine
cheers Richie

I had threaded studs in mine and they were junk and gave me all kinds of grief. I switched to verbus press in studs, its not a big job to fit them.

Agree, press in studs are far superior to the screw in. I had the machine shop spot face the back of the drum so the stud pressed in 100% square to the face of the disc/drum. That also adds a little clearance from the back of the stud to the internals of the brake drum
