Converting to wheel studs

vasillalov · 07-29-2011, 10:29 AM

I will be purchasing a new dedicated set of wheels and tires for the summer/track and I would like to convert from bolts to studs. TurnerMotorsports offers a 75mm and a 90mm studs.

My question is which length of studs should I be purchasing? I don't want to end up with the wheel studs sticking out too much past the nuts, but at the same time, I want to make sure that the nuts will safely and securely hold the wheels in place.

Recommendations, suggestions, ideas?

I think 75mm is if your running a small spacer or no spacer and 90mm is if your running a larger spacer. Not sure though.

We carry the RSD stud kits that are available in 3 sizes, 57mm, 75mm and 91mm. The 57mm kit is for a complete OEM replacement, but you cannot use spacers on it. The 75mm kit can be used with anywhere from a 5mm - 12mm spacer, and the 91mm can be used with spacers up to 25mm in size. If you have any other questions regarding the stud kit conversions, let me know.

Decide on your spacer size (all around) and open end lugnut length, until then the length of stud cannot be determined

For track use, I would suggest the 75mm stud conversion kit. This allows you some room to work with if you ever plan on increasing the track. The studs wont be sticking out too much and you will still retain a nice look with or without spacers.

No spacers needed. I am getting custom offset wheels.

Thanks for the info guys. 75mm it is then.

75mm is perfect. I just got the Turner 75mm and the studs do not stick out too far at all. IMHO they are the perfect length.

That looks great, but your post doesn't mean anything without sharing whether or not your car has spacers. Please share. I've been looking into getting some studs also.

Brand doesn't matter as much as the manufacturing process, as long as you get a Forged setup from a reputable vendor like : BBS, Muteki, MS you will be OK.

I have the 95mm Muteki kit forged shanks and nuts.

It is easier to mount wheels with these because the bolts stayin the hubs, so you can set the rim on the studs instead of just the Hub so installation is faster and easier.

Here is a video to give you a better idea:
