I just installed a set of Ansens on my 55 Nomad that has 1/2" studs. They work fine with the narrower shoulder. I bought them from Lakeshore Wheel. USA made and less money than the big suppliers. You should be OK with the 1/2"ers.

Thanks Tony, that's what I have been learning asking around. Narrower shanks.
