That is exactly what you have Denis.  You definitely want the stud kit with any 
aftermarket wheel; and they are not a bad idea with stock wheels.  Much safer 
than the stock type lug bolts.
 
Fred:  Just do exactly what Denis has with wheels and studs.

That is what I have, isn't it Sammie? I have Type 3 drums in the rear and studs 
and lugnuts, no spacers. And Fred, if Sammie has wide 5 Empi's, that is what 
you want, isn't it? Mine are 15s, is that a problem?

Use the screw in studs and lug nuts.  Empi has them and almost everyone stocks 
them; like try Jack Wenk at Black Gold.  He can also fix you up with some Empi 
5 spokes if that is what you want.

CIP offers extra long wheel bolts when using spacers, will these not work?

CIP sells them. Like $18 each. Easy to find. I dont know much about splits, but 
on bays, the rear drums have ridges, and do not allow the wheel to lay flat on 
the hub. Spacer is only about 1/4" thick. Sounds like an awsome plan for the 
bus.

That is so cool!
I've decided on the polished empi 5s and the stainless safari's. My
goal is 
a two tone white and dove blue.
So I need some kind of spacer for the rear wheels? Who makes them?
