Dittos everyone,, Love the Autodrags

(as if you didn't know)

One question though. How much does the wheelstud stick out into the lugnut head?  It is supposed to be 1/2 inch at least.

The reason I ask is Centerlines are pretty thick anyway and with spacers on the back.....

That's why I installed some 3" long ARP wheel studs, even with the 7/16th spacers, the thickness of the Centerlines and some open end Centerline lug nuts, I still have 1/2" of the wheel stud sticking all the way out the lug nut. I'm not a big fan of spacers, but I feel better with all those threads there. They haven't been any problem though.

N/P, Hey 360Cuda or anyone else for that matter, have you had a problem with any of your Centerlines leaking? If so what type of sealer did you use to fix it?  I got one with a pretty good leak and one with a very slow leak. The valve stems and tires are fine, so I know it's the cheap silcone they used to seal the two halves of the rim.
