What length stud kit?

[StuOwen86]

I'm going to bite the bullet and order some PMS stud's for my track car as I'm sick to death of trying to line up the holes lol only unsure what length I should go for? I don't run any spacers, but was thinking maybe I should future proof them so I could if needed (brake upgrade or something) run some spacers, I think the Pure ones allow upto a 12mm spacer to be used so I assume this would be enough and wouldn't really need to run any wider spacers for anything like say a Brembo upgrade or anything? Is it worth buying a couple of extra nuts and maybe an extra stud just in case to keep as a spare?

Also maybe a stupid question but on the Pure website it says leave for 3 hours for loctite to go off, can I put the wheels on and just finger tight the nuts then after the 3 hours torque them up? Or does it have to sit on axle stands for 3 hours with wheels off? Obviously the car wouldn't be driven until wheel nuts are done up lol. (i just thought I would answer that before anyone asked haha)

HI mate,
having a similar debate as I am doing the brembo converstion. I am finding that eibach for instance dont seem to do 10mm spacers. only 5 or 15mm. I have 5mm on order but looking at a few that have done it that might not be enough. I am wondering if 10mm is an awkard size for the hub being not big enough for a hubcentric and leaving no lip if not using HC. this obviously has the knock on effect of the pure kit being 12mm max.

no solutions for you there, just added food for thought.

There is a little bit of hub lip to centralise the wheel if you do use 10mm spacers

Cheers mate.. Do you know who does a quality 10mm spacer?

I can't remember the size I've got will need to check when I'm home but I'm sure it was 83mm and I run 15mm spacers.

I ordered mine from elite developments in colchester, they have an eBay page too. They offer a few different length studs, at one point I ran 16mm spacers with no issues.

This is the set I have as I am running 16mm spacers at the front so it is 82mm long at the front and 75 at the rear with no spacers.
I had this one as well because you will get 4 spare nuts and 2 spare studs of each size for £5 more

With a 16mm spacer the nut just about takes up all the thread on the front studs

Got mine from Drift Works cost me £50 including the nuts. They are for a BMW but they fit fine so not a problem.
