Space grey e92 Motorsport Hardware studs and more...

WDBi · 02-25-2013, 03:14 AM

Decided to take some more pics of the car with the new stud conversion and lug nuts from Motorsport Hardware. I ordered these lugs a few days ago and put them on for ease of changing wheels as well as the extra strength they offer. The studs are a breeze to install, look great, and most importantly are highly functional. I have vmr 18 8.5f 9.5r toyo r888 255/35?f 285/30r with the studs being 82mm and the 2 piece lugs it all goes together nicely. I highly suggest anyone who is looking for studs to hit up Ryan at Motorsport hardware.

Mods are:
m3 front bumper
performance cf rear spoiler
vmr vb3 18" wheels
JB4 g5 iso w cobb backend flash
100% e85
DCI
vrsf intercooler and downpipes
straight piped exhaust + vibrant resonators
custom front splitter (not pictured)
motorsport hardware 82mm studs w/ 2 piece race lugs w/ locks

any way to the pics. Hope you like

The lug nuts awesome 2 piece lugs so you dont scratch your wheels

They offer tons of sizes for all applications

The installed studs and lug nuts

Friends VW mark 4 R32

missing tow hook sadness

Finally a big shout out to these guys

and mostly these guys

Car looks good man. Cool pics too, great lighting in that garage.

Only thing I'd lose are the stickers.

lookin' good

Stud conversion is amazing. So much easier to put on and take off wheels. Looks great. Btw how are the r888 in wet and treadlife? Also I see you're lowered with 285 in the rear. Did you have to do a lot to prevent rubbing?

WDBi · 02-26-2013, 04:58 PM

im not lowered this is stock ride height. it does rub a bit though over big bumps with 3+ people in the car. The tires are amazing i usually get terrible treadlife anyway so i cant really say if these are good or bad but i can say that im going on 5k miles on them and they still have some tread on them and in the wet they arent bad at all

Just ordered a set of studs. Just wondering how you installed yours?

project335i · 02-26-2013, 05:38 PM
