2003 f7 stud pattern

[jonesin]

looking at studding my track, dont want to as its new but ..... i'm doing a little research and looking for the best way to go
its a 128 and i have to verify the lug but i think its 1 3/8
most packages are 96 but i think i need to go 102 studs, i just want the minimum pattern to keep from rolling the sled on the ice AGAIN
how long are the studs compared to the lug?
i see they have double backers now, didnt know they had those
stud boy, woody, probably all the same...?

I used the Stud Boy 170 pattern and it works GREAT !! I put in 1.175" Woodys Megabites,as i've got a 1" track. Here's a link to the pattern and there's also a chart on their site to help you with selecting the proper length...

so that would be studding the outside as well, correct
i was thinking of just studding the inside as i am nervous about tear outs...

I would stay inside the windows when studding. Also, be sure you avoid putting them in the area where your interior idler wheels run over the backs. I messed that up on my wife's 2007 F6, and had to replace her idlers after less than 3,000 miles. Especially on your sled-that motor was a super fast machine. I wouldn't want to put studs outside the track windows just to have them rip out and ruin a good track. I would also get your ribs looked at. Lasst thing you need is to slip on the ice and have a broken rib go into your heart. At least the docs can tell you where they're broken and let you know if anything else is wrong.
