This is without nuts mind. I'm probably going to buy different ones so that's why I went for just the studs. These are "BMW" studs but they are the same thread as the 172/182's so all is good. If you message...
I'll probably get something like these.

Had them on my BG with no issues.
Studs came today! Great service and delivery and i even asked for 2 different sizes and was much cheaper than anywhere else! All high tensile 10.9 grade with allen key ends.
Spacers painted
Trial fitted them all. Fronts:
Rears:
The rears "may" be a tad long but the next size...
Thank you wangers! :smile:
Thank you. I just can't help but tinker but I still try and make it look good with the things I do too. Old habits die hard I guess.
Yeah, I do think you need lows to pull off 15" but tbf it didn't look as bad as I though on the cooksports, but that was probably due...
Yes, it's better to leave the cap plugged in. I just cable ties mine underneath the headlight. Also I put a bolt in the end to block it up
Still no light either :)
Thanks Rob!
I also bought some new studs for the stud conversion. After some thinking, I've gone with 75mm rears and 82mm fronts. This will compensate the front spacers and the studs should sill have plenty of threads and still look the same after the wheels, front and rear.
They are high...
Tell me about it Chris! Pretty sure the pads are the same too as well as the battery clamps.
Obviously she's living in denial!
Tbf I've spent more on mine this month than she has on the micra in 4yrs/35k!
Started fitting the coilovers
Fronts done so stopped off for coffee and toast! Even Beamish had some!
Then onto the rears
Touring car style!! Obviously it needed major adjustment!
While the rear was up in the air my new genuine center exhaust mount came so i fitted that and...
Fog light wires removed as they are no longer needed
I think i'll need to take more out of the front crossmember if i want to add some air feed or an actual duct
Decided to relocate the horn and make a bracket so its not directly on the chassis
I am going to redo the bracket...
Cheers Chris. Its more page after page of pictures instead!
Bilsteins are great, no two ways about it. Gaz used to have a 50/50 name so that puts a lot of people off. After fitting these, they still need some adjustment on the height as it rubs a bit, but i kid you not, it doesn't feel like...
They are a tight fit yes. I'd recommend taking the surrounds out and sanding down the parts on the outside and then fitting them off the bumper.
95mm will be too loose I'd say, plus this way you know they won't be coming out!
