Weld Wheel Studs On??

[heated heavy]

well, i took off my wheel after getting my ARP studs installed and found out that my hub is bad cuase the hole is so big the one stud just slides in and out. my options are:

-buy another used hub(how much would these go for?)
-spot weld the outer part of the hole on my hub to make the stud fit in
-use this problem as an excuse to weld all 16 studs onto the hub for extra safety.(any know of a price on this and if it is worth it?)

get another hub

either get a new hub, or if you feel like welding............weld the hold full and then redrill and tap the hole for a new stud. but you're likely to get the hold wrong/offcenter/angled etc if you arent doing it with a press.

so yeah..............get a new hub

I have a few welded studs and manage to get everything on correctly, been to a few drift days, and held up. Too busy to find another 4 lug hub when I am going 5 lug anyways. Just a temporary fix until the problem will be fixed.

Which hub do you need? I have 4-lug hubs.
