Pure Motorsport Stud kit.

[Fletcher]

I am thinking about getting this stud kit. Anyone on here have this stud kit fitted to their Clio?

Cheers Fletch.

 

[BIGASH]

Yes I have it on mine it's very good, I can't imagine how many times the wheels have been off mine last year but it must be in the hundreds and they have been no issue what so ever. They don't seem to have any issues being torqued when hot where the cheaper studs seem to expand so you tighten them but then when cool they are over tight and can break.

Buy them and you won't be disappointed

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^Good stuff.

Cheers mate

Or Tweeks do a very similar set of the same quality.

We use those ones.

 

[Jamie86]

what about rally designs ones? anything bad about them?!

We use those ones.

I'll also have a look on tweaks then. Thanks Tony.

 

[Fred@BTM]

we use turner motorsport (USA) studs for BMW's on the clios (same thread etc) they're identical to PMS ones

I have these, you can buy them individually which was handy as at the rear i needed different length due to spacers.

What nuts do you use with them Tony, no match on DT

Where do you buy from Fred as they are the same price as PMS delivered and you will probably get stung with customs tax as well?

I just asked for wheel nuts to suit.

what thread size and length is needed for the Clio?

 

[Chip-mk1]

We use the pure kits, no problem so far.

 

[Tony Hunter]

what thread size and length is needed for the Clio?

Can't remember thread size, I just say it's for a clio. Length, are you running spacers?. just measure them and pick a length.

 

[Kelv]

M12 X 1.5mm IIRC.

 

[pure-motorsport]

I am slightly biased but the allen key head in our studs does make it easier to fit them and why not support a small company?!
In stock and ready for next day delivery by the way!

Fred: they're not Turner studs but very similar.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Agreed on the allen key, its a useful addition

 

[Cup_Phil]

I'm gonna be buying a set soon - I just wish they supported slightly bigger spacers

must be same supplier or something as they too come with the allen key head, anyway, sod the americans, buy from Nick @ Pure motorsport!

they are pretty long already, TBH I think if you need them any longer you shouldnt be using non bolt on spacers anyway!

 

[Cup_Phil]

On the website it says they'll only go to +12mm spacers
I want to run 15mm H&R hub centric front spacers

Get bolt on spacers then.

 

[BIGASH]

I know Pure only advise 12mm but I have used mine with 15mm all year and had no issues

 

[Cup_Phil]

Oh sweet thanks for that

Getting 15mm behind-hub spacers on the rear from Ed with -1 camber, then H&R hub centric 15mm on the front

Tony - you can't get 15mm bolt-to-hub spacers, there's not enough meat in them for the wheel bolts to go into

 

[Tony Hunter]

Ah, ok sorry.

any reason for not just going to 20mm i you have gone as far as 15mm on the back anyway? They normally seem to like a bit more on the front than the back.

 

[Cup_Phil]

Just added complexity, more things to go wrong etc...

My OCD feels comfier with a 15mm hubcentric spacer and some very good quality studs with nuts than it does having spacers bolted to hubs and then wheels bolted to spacers... dunno why

Also as James has run the same setup on his all last year I know it's tested, whereas the people machining bolt to hub spacers up on here in 20mm, I don't know the quality and I don't want one stripping on track

 

[Chip-mk1]

Fair enough mate, there are certainly some VERY poor quality bolt on spacers out there so I can understand you wanting to do it that way.

 

[Tony Hunter]

We've raced with 25mm bolt on spacers for 3yrs now. Just saying.

 

[Chip-mk1]

If you use the same quality of fasteners then its actually SAFER with 25mm bolt on ones like yours than with 15mm slide over ones from the point of view of the bolts coming loose or fatigueing, as the amount of exposed thread to stretch is far smaller, you end up with about 8mm of thread twice, rather than 23mm of thread once, so I firmly believe that when using a decent quality product the bolt on are the better option.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Glad you approve.

 

[Cup_Phil]

Also a good point

 

[Chip-mk1]

Glad you approve.

Lol, I am very predictable mate, I ALWAYS approve of stuff that works well.

 

[Jonff]

Just ordered at set of these.

Quick question in regards to fitting though. When you're screwing them in to the hub, is it possible to over-tighten/screw them in to far in to the hub?

Not really mate, they have a shoulder which stops them at the appropriate point. You'd bend the allen key or round it off before you broke the stud like that!

 

[Jonff]

Ahh yeah! I noticed there was a shoulder on the studs but wasn't sure if it was wide enough to stop it going in to far. Cheers Chip.

 

[Fletcher]

Let me know how you get on fitting them Jon.

 

[Jonff]

Let me know how you get on fitting them Jon.

Will do mate, looks like a pretty simple job to do.

 

[Chip-mk1]

It is REALLY simple.

Remove wheel.
Put some stud lock on the thread of a stud (the bit going into the hub behind the shoulder).
Wind it in using allen key.
Repeat 3 more times for the other studs.
Put wheel on, do nuts up.
Then same on the other 3 wheels.
