'69 Nova Drag into Street - Wheel question

[hobo]

Guys,

Some of you know I've been working on turning a strictly drag Nova into a streetable machine. Since braking is a concern, and currently having non-radial skinnies on the front has very little contact patch on the road, I want to look at putting more streetable wheels/tires on. The car currently has racing studs and the lugs are the type that go into the drag lites. I'm wondering if I can find some of the street wheels (Torque Thrusts, etc.) that would fit without me taking the racing studs out. I would prefer to keep as many of the performance parts as I can while making this streetable.

This may be a very obvious to some, but I'm not that well versed on the wheel market and plan to start doing my local research this week, but I always use this board first.

As always, I appreciate the input...

As long as you use the open ended lug nuts, shouldn't be a problem

Thanks Dave. I was hoping someone would say that. Not as pretty, but very functional.

As always, I appreciate the input. This hasn't been as easy as I thought it would be...
