My corolla
BTW I called Jegs and spoke tp a guy there but he says
that they go 1.5" deep into the wheel, but the thickness of the wheel is only 3/4"
and he says it might not be safe. What you guys say about that, think it will be enough to hold??
I dont wanna be like that dude in the RX7

Haha fenders are already rolled or should I say hammered out, and tires are
gonna be 215, 50's for now in the back and 205's up front. I'm gonna swap
in a Ka24de into it soon so a tq monster it will be

PS you guys think I can just have the holes countersunk instead

just get some new wheels. those things look like ------- truck wheels. if you must use those hidious things, get some longer studs. it isnt rocket science. i mean...if you were gonna bolt something together and the bolt wasnt long enough...what would you do? Get a longer bolt right...well...sounds like a great idea.
