Robert,
Why go through all that trouble? 7/16 studs are plenty strong. I"m sure
you could find a lug nut that would fit the application-surely it would be
much simpler than what you are contemplating-It might not even be that
expensive to have a machine shop make a set for you if nothing is
commercially available. Unless of course you just *want* to take the hubs
apart. . .I dunno, just sounds like the hard way to do it-
