Bill,
The alloy hubs will likely be drilled for the stock 3/8" studs so you'll have 
to bore them to take whatever studs you're using.  The 7/16-20 upgrade is 
most likely a Chevy size.  If not, look to use them as you can get a 
replacement stud at any tire store.  I recommend the ARP studs but that's up 
to you.

<< Hello Gents,
 I am going to go to aluminum hubs on my GT6+. Your previous dialog was this 
is a good thing and the 6lb savings on the front of the nose heavy car is 
worth it. Ok  - now the question is wheel studs. The car currently is set up 
with 7/16" studs with 20 threads per inch on 3 3/4 in centers. This is true 
for the rear as well and also coincides  with my Super 7 front hubs so I can 
share wheels. Is this the good set up?
 Thanks for your advice.
 Also this car was set up with the original front suspension, except it has 
the lower A arms boxed and the top of the towers are welded to the roll cage 
that extends to the front of the car. The vertical link, steering arms, 
spindle, bearings, ball joints are all original except the bushes are 
urethane. So the jist of it is that the front suspension seems fairly stock. 
Is this the way to go?
 Any and all advice would be appreciated.
