I bought eagle 589 rims for my 72K5 and the wheels studs arent long enough. Any longer studs available?

i have the same rims on my '72 (15x12) and they went after gringing away some of the caliper. they did not fully seat because of the clearence issue. i found where the contact was and grinded a little off each corner of the caliper. if i could do it over i would of went with a larger rim diameter. if you want longer studs, you can usually get them at a regular parts store. if not, try a wheel specialist like wheel works or americas tire. first you should make sure that there is no contact with the disc break components and the rim. i hope this helps.

You should be able to get some from your local speed shop. I know Moroso makes them and I think ARP makes them too.
