Stud Conversion Kit's

[StuOwen86]

Still can't decide which one to go for, now I know these hold the wheels on so don't wanna buy cheapest just because I'm tight lol but price varies quite a lot.

Ktec - £90 posted loctite supplied
Pure Motorsport - £115 + postage loctite supplied
eBay - Elite Developments £75 free postage just need loctite
eBay - MAPS from £49 to £69 free postage just need loctite
eBay - mtec £40 free postage just need loctite.

Pictures are not in the same order as listed above.


The ones from eBay are similar to the PMS ones and have the Allen key in the end for tightening them up in the hub and are free delivery but need loctite, they come in around £5 cheaper than the Ktec ones. The PMS and ktec both come with loctite even though its not expensive to be fair. I have seen some from mtec which seem too cheap last picture if all has gone well.


And the elite development ones a say torque nuts to 85lb/ft is this correct not sure what the equates to in NM and I'm pretty sure standard are around 115NM ?? If this is not correct please let me know. And the PMS kit says tighten to 110NM

These are decent. Few guys run these one here and are cheaper than ktec/PMS studs. I've seen these in person and they look decent quality.

Loctite is only a couple of quid so no real extra cost.

@M.C. @dmallett has these iirc.

I have the PMS stud kit fitted to my 172.

Dont not get the mtec ones... They stretch... Wheels come lose... And eventually they snap!

I would bet any money they are actually made by grayson and are s**t!

 

[M.C..]

I have been using the MAPS one and they are good quality not had any problems with them and cheaper than PMS ones

I can only echo this, so far so good.

 

[StuOwen86]

Thanks for the input guys guess i'll have to get some of those MAPs ones then when I get some pennies lol spent up on track days haha. What lengths are you guys running with the MAPs ones and what Loctite did you use?

Cheers

 

[bloke]

i'd go with the pms ones.

 

[StuOwen86]

Any particular reason mate?

 

[bloke]

the quality of their stuff is second to none.

I got the MAPS one. Proper nice quality. Would recommend. Just follow the PMS installation instructions. Bought some Loctite 270 for it

 

[Martin.]

I have the PMS kit. Top quality.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

I've just bought some from Driftworks due to be delivered today £54.50inc Vat and shipping.

 

[Cub.]

PMS kit on mine too. No problems and good quality.

I'm also a believer of supporting companies that are actively developing new products for the clio world.

 

[TarkMalbot]

I have the Elite ones. They seem pretty good to me.

I got them because I didn't see the need to change the thread pitch, were cheaper than some others but I wanted black studs and nuts. They also had different length options which allowed me to get some suitable for the spacers size I may have in the future

 

[masekwm]

Was thinking of buying the MAPS studs, anyone had a problem with them?

 

[chris-foci]

I have a kit en route from Elite as shown above. I have read that you cant use standard wheels with them on another thread on here, is this true? I plan to use standard 172 Cup wheels for wet tyres and 15's for dry track tyres.

 

[fixedgear]

PMS here

 

[Turbo steve]

I have the PMS ones, was going to fit them today but i want to run my standard wheels for the winter and you cant fit the centre cap back on with them so i will wait until next spring when the 15's go on with the summer tyres and fit them then
PMS stuff is bloody good kit got loads of there stuff on my car now

 

[chris-foci]

So the standard wheels will fit but you cant put the centre cap back on? How come as I cant see how they would affect fitting of the centre cap.

Depends on the wheels

 

[Turbo steve]

The studs stick out and stop the centre cap fitting, i am talking about the standard 182 16" wheels

 

[chris-foci]

Its a 172 Cup with standard Cup wheels. Someone also mentioned in another post that the studs cant be fitted without spacers. Surely this is nonsense?

 

[masekwm]

You'll be fine with Turini's, they just sit further out the wheel

 

[chris-foci]

Good stuff. I see your going to Bedford on the 14th Nov so will probably see you there. Hopefully with nice new studs!

 

[Archtects]

@BIFCAIDS where the ones you ordered any good?

You referring to these?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Yeah, I wouldn’t have suggested them otherwise bud. Little long but makes no difference.
