Wheel studs:

Following on from this:

I'm after some more info.

I was looking at this set on ebay, and have asked a few questions about it to the seller

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=180237534433&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008

But I was thinking, when the discs need changing again, I take it the holes in the disc are slightly larger than the diameter of the stud, so will just slide off?

Was looking at this link from Hutchie in the original thread

http://www.priracing.com/section.php/92/1/studs-universal

I was thinking, how far will I be able to get the stud into the hubs, the above link shows 10mm and 15mm ones, would I be better going for the 15mm ones?

How will I know how long I need the longer side to be? I've been trying to think how I can guess it from the how the car sits at the minute but my common sense for the weekend has gone, so i'm struggling to think of a way!

All help etc will be much appreciated.

I was going to post mostly the same questions tonight

Any help would be great!!!

if your looking just to replace bolts with studs then its surely just the length of your wheel bolts, but if your putting spacers on then you have wheel bolt length plus spacer thickness, then obviously some nuts i went for lightweight ones, little bit carefull when torqueing them up

i have 25mm spacers and i bought m12x1.5 80mm so to replace standards i guess 50mm ones will be fine as my 80mm ones protrude plenty

pm me if you have further questions

Thanks mate

Although maybe in here is better for anyone else and people searching?
Did you buy yours from the link you posted?

I want to make sure I get the right length for putting the nuts on the end too though, I don't want the nuts bottoming out before they are fully tightened or not having enough thread on?

Would I not use the same torque? Or is it just because yours are the lightweight alloy ones?

Thanks for the help
