      X2 the lawyer/liability thing...a slip-on rotor is a wheel spacer if you think about it.



      Just my $.02, but a wheel stud doesn't see any stress other than what is caused by the preload of the stud untill you exceed that load (which you shouldn't do if you have properly sized your wheel studs), hence the importance of properly selecting and torquing your wheels studs. For most of the vehicle applications on this site, a quality M12x1.5 or 1/2-20 stud should be more than sufficient. Both 9/16-18 and M14 are overkill and 5/8 is bordering on ridiculous unless you throw drag slicks on your ride and flog it. Drag racing is notoriously hard on wheel studs due to the impact/shock loading on launch. Most of us not running wrinkle-wall tires won't ever be able to hook that hard, so you're dealing with a traction limited situation regardless of how much torque or HP you at the crank.
