stud conversion?

[chrishesketh]

anybody used these ...

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=301264277164

interested as I want to space my wheels 10mm all around! was also thinking of getting longer nuts that will stick out a bit further than the wheel, for aesthetics obviously...

 

[steveb182]

Not used them but looking at kits myself as intending a set for my 182 and did see these.

Sure they are fine but might be worth checking out JJC race and rally as they are a bit cheaper, free postage and I have always had great service.

I have found someone on here who has been using some off eBay and said they have had no issues...

and then I would buy these as well, because I want the bolt sticking out from the alloy also just for aesthetics...

I have a set from M.A.P.S off eBay. Nice bit of kit

have you used spacers with yours? and did you buy your own loc tite?

 

[Carlv8415]

Get some Loctite 271 for them. On the rear I have Hub spacers. Going to be running 5mm spacers in the rear. Ordered 20mm bolt to hub spacers for the front and studs go into that

thanks a lot [emoji106]

People say about Loctite 270 but that stuff is solid and isn't easily disassembled

Have an item number for those lugnuts?
cant find them on ebay, even on username

 

[bozothenutter]

found the seller:

[chrishesketh]

sorry I'm in work, take it you sorted it! I haven't seen any clios with the studs sticking out the wheels but I have seen it in a Mini Cooper and I like the thought of it so I'm going for these

 

[bozothenutter]

mine do stick out, this seems like a good fix to get rid of rusty looking studs...just have to check they are long enough though.

 

[chrishesketh]

got a pic please? [emoji4] I wasn't saying there isn't any just that I hadn't seen any! there's a lot of different once on eBay just search "long wheel nut black"

 

[Carlv8415]

Pretty sure the M.A.P.S ones allow for a 10mm spacer

 

[chrishesketh]

they have 2 different ones yes which is why I am getting them! going to space all around

 

[Carlv8415]

I have these...

Will probably get some anodised wheel studs once I have my new wheels

 

[M.C..]

I had the ones from M.A.P.S ages ago, I brought the set for a BMW with 10 at 75mm long and 10 at 82mm long iirc and the 82mm long ones will take a 16mm spacer.
Just use some loctite 271 to fix them in

on the rear wheel

on the front wheel with 16mm spacer

on the car with no spacers

 

[Carlv8415]

Yeah I going to run 10mm hub spacers and 10mm wheel spacers. Anyone know where to get 10mm spacers from ?

so the rear has no spacer and has about 30mm sticking out after the nut? cheers for the pics

 

[StuOwen86]

Anyone bought these yet thinking about them for my track car but just worried as they hold my wheels on don't fancy skimping lol was going to order a set from Pure motor sport or somewhere like that

 

[M.C..]

Yeah about 30mm

 

[chrishesketh]

Yeah about 30mm

perfect so I think I will get 20x75mm in length, and then I will space my wheels 10mm all around and use long nuts and hopefully that should look the dogs [emoji6] thanks a lot for the pics and help!!!

Thats what I use on my track car, they are high tensile steel bolts with steel nuts the same as pure motorsport but half the price, they also look identical to the PMS ones.

Just be careful with the long nuts as they are only aluminium and if they are made in China they may not be very good, also iirc they are about 50mm long so they will stick outside the wheel so it will not pass a MOT.

I'm trying to find some that aren't cheap! rather pay more for better quality ones! and I'm sure I know someone who would pass them, along with my decat [emoji6]

 

[M.C..]

TBH for good quality ones I don't think you would get much change out of about £100

oh that's a bummer might be out the window then as I would rather use that money for some 15" oz f1s ready for a summer wheel

they are nice but like you say very pricey! the only other thing I have found is something like this ...

If you use 271 can it be easily disassembled ?

 

[M.C..]

some steel ones here cheaper, I did think about these at one point http://www.driftworks.com/gt50-steel-wheel-nuts-with-key-5-colours-available.html

 

[M.C..]

If you need to take them out just heat up the hub with a blowtorch and it will free off

 

[Carlv8415]

To be honest. How often you going to remove them lol

 

[chrishesketh]

doubt my studs would ever be removed

 

[Carlv8415]

I need to get 20mm bolt to hub spacers for the front
