wheel stud factor of safety?
wheel stud factor of safety?
(OP)
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone can give me a general range of values for the factor of safety regarding wheel studs?
I am looking at general cars, like daily commuter cars that people drive everyday. Specifically trucks and SUVs.
I would guess that it would have to be enough so the car could still drive if one or two studs broke.
Thanks for the help!

I reckon so!!! One of THE most common failures I have seen is in 1/2 ton Cheby 4x4 with the OEM 7/16" wheel studs...man, they even break on the street with the big tires and wheels!
