Wheel Stud Conversion Kits

[m3f_Eric1855]

I am looking for a Wheel Stud conversion kit. The bolts get damn annoying when swapping back and forth between race and street wheels.



However, all the kits I have found (TMS and Rogue) come with standard lenght studs. My car runs spacers up front to fit the 17x9's and I use longer wheel bolts. So my question is where can I find longer studs to use up front. Whether in a kit or sold separately.



Thanks

did bmp have anything? im not really sure where u could find them other than those 3... that might be a special request

The Rogue Engineering wheel stud kit can be used with a 10mm (or smaller) spacer.

RRT studs are the best, hands down.

calculating from RRT's site:



$7.50 per stud x 5 studs = $37.50 x 4 corners = $150



$1.75 per lug nut x 5 lugs = $8.75 x 4 corners = $35



so all together, $185 for wheel stud conversion. thats a lot of money

I went with the Rogue Kit.



I'll see how it works. Worst case I can always order or make longer studs.

They are, but they are the best.



The anti cross thread shank is the best part. You can just zip the nuts right on, no need to need hand thread on.

that is good. especially for track guys who switch out wheels quickly......



i've been thinking of doing the wheel stud conversion b/c i get a little tired sometimes of holding up the wheels just right so i can put the lug bolt into the hole. maybe its worth it :nixweiss:

I have them and find them useful when changing wheels or trying to remount and wheel. For the number of times I have pulled my wheels off and reinstalled them, I would say mine have more than saved me enough aggravation to justify the costs (Rogue Studs...I didnt want to spend the extra $60 on RRT)

Sorry to bump an old thread, but figured it was better than starting a new one.


Is there any reason to run these for street purposes other than looks? Any draw back to using these? (replacement costs?)


Thanks,


..noticed this was the e36 section. Makes no difference

I would argue "looks" really aren't a reason most people run them (though I could be wrong). My street car has them and as I posted above, I do enjoy having them for the ease of swapping wheels. That said, in retrospect, I wouldn't buy them again as you can buy wheel pins for a fraction of the cost and have the same ease of wheel installation/removal.

where is a good place to look for these "wheel pins". I am typing it in to google, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

If your tool kit is complete, then you should have one of those back there. It's the long metal piece with a rubber at the other end. You just stick the rubber side in the bolt whole.

Vorshlag makes a quality stud for a reasonable price. I spent some time at RRT last week and they said they use Vorshlag's studs on their cars. I'm going to use 90mm in the front and 75mm in the rear.
