Is anyone using the thread-in 1/2"-20 ARP wheel studs with their Kore3 Big Brake kits (or just using them period)?

If so, have you had any issue with the stud loosening when installing/tightening/torqueing the lug nuts?

I've ordered my Kore3 GMSS 325mm C6 big brake kit and I opted to upgrade to the thread-in ARP 1/2"-20 wheel studs for the hubs. . .I chose the 1/2"-20 thread-in studs because they were the largest diameter studs for the hubs.
Now I'm getting ready to machine bolt-on wheel spacers for my C4 ZR-1 wheels and I'm wondering if I want to use thread-in wheel studs or press-in studs for the wheel/spacer assembly. . .just curious if anyone has had any issues with these thread-in studs. . .
Thanks!

I guess I should add that my car is being built mainly for track use. . .

We use them all the time and haven't had that issue. You can put some blue Loctite on them (only just under the head) and make sure you've got a little anti-seize on the lug nut end after installed.

Thanks for the input so far. . .I figured I would use some blue LocTite. . .
