i'm really suprised not to see more feedback on this. I personally know a hand full of guys running these studs that are on this board. Did no one ever question the thread length when they were putting them in? I guess putting them in backwards would be the same as getting the fror ones, you just have to double nut it to tighten them down. it's just the fact that they were made with the head on the wrong side, which i guess really isn't a big issue. but like black diamond said, it's the fact that they are telling people to put them in wrong to compensate for a mistake.
