Definitely a better way to go then my first attempt with metal screws.

We also found if you dip the studs in an adhesive like 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Instant Adhesive CA100 They don't rip out as quickly. Still a lot of work.
If you make up two sets it's better (one for you and one for your buddy) Cuz you really need two sets of hands. One gluing and one running the gun.

I would say a minimum 2 each beers per tire.
