Noticed that these studs are for aluminum wheels ...did you happen by chance to resource a number for steel wheel applications?

They are in the pictures. I'll pull the specs though.

No but I would imagine they would work for both applications.

The stud description is for Aluminum wheels as they are thicker typically than Steel wheels. There is no difference in the stud itself except for overall length and longer thread reach. The knurl and taper will be the same.

That was the biggest requirement was for the knurl to be the same. The serrations are actually a little longer but the knurl is the same.

New studs came in. Total cost was 340, that includes freight. Not bad I think.
This picture show all three studs for comparison. In the back are the new studs, one on left is original, and the right is the napa ordered one.

The question still remains are they long enough to properly hold the aluminum rims?

I'll put the hub and drum assembly together today and give it a go.

I have faith in these though. The stock studs would come right to the edge of the rim. With these being an inch longer they should give me enough to grab onto.

Ok so I was pulling the studs in using the stock rim and the threads would stop before the stud was seated so I put the mrap wheel on.
Let me tell you, it was a PITA!
Studs are perfect, but I think I will have another issue to work with. The lug nuts are wanting to cut into the wheel so I think I am going to need to source the mrap lug nuts. Problem #2 is mrap lug nuts are M22x1.5 where the 900 / 800 / 35 series is 3/4-16.
