I measured a hole for the lug stud in a dana axle I have. It's .655".  I hope this helps. Also it's the same as an 8-3/4 axle I checked.

The stud knurl on the rear axles is .673-.675 for a Dana or 8.75 with 4.5" bolt circle.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

     I was looking through Summit and the one THEY say fits a Mopar is 685 I think it was...    Thanks..

This is the correct rear lug stud:

The .685" stud assumes the holes in the axle flange are worn oversize but will work in an original size hole but it takes a lot more pressure to install them.

Thanks for that addition.  I was thinking the .685 dia. was a bit high but never considered it would be for worn holes.
I would like to add that I agree it will take a lot of pressure and that trying to pull those studs in unworn holes with the lug nuts won't work. It may damage the threads. :Twocents:
