[DeTomaso] Attainable 70's muscle cars, Mach 1

[asajay at asajay.com]

I purchased the Campys as a spare set from someone on the forum.   
Sorry, can't remember who.

They -are- thicker.  No, I did not change the studs, though I should.   
In most cases, the stud is even with the outside of the lug nut, but  
there are a few cases where the nut has a thread exposed.  Using acorn  
style lug nuts, one would not notice this and be totally oblivious.   
In my case, I've always used standard nuts, so it was obvious to me  
right away, but not enough of a concern to go out and replace all the  
studs just yet.  They only need to be an eighth or quarter inch longer.
