BTW don't ever rely on extension threads for strength.

Yikes! That's scary! But I wasn't referring to the threads in the shank, these don't actually reach down any deeper than the OEM lug nuts. I was referring to the threads inside the lug nuts, they're threaded all the way into the bore. Many lug nuts I've come across only have the first 12 to 16mm threaded and then the inside opens up with no threads at all. I run extended-length studs and I like having as much thread engagement as possible.

I replaced the metric lugs studs for standard ones in the 1LE rotors that I put on my 1976 Firebird. Dorman had a stud that was the same length and diameter with the correct shank in 7/16" size.
