Recommendations for studs/nuts for M2C?

flybigjet · 07-11-2023, 11:43 AM

I'm considering converting to studs & nuts for ease of swapping street and track tires.

Any suggestions on recommended combinations?

They *do* have to look good-- that was a consideration of the Minister of War & Finance letting me do the swap.

Also, they should have the ability to add 10mm spacers as needed, depending on tire selection.

TIA.

I'm along for the ride. I'll be adding spacers, but I'm still planning to use bolts. I'm curious about the stud options.

I had been holding out on this for quite a while as well but just made the swap to these and they look good and were an easy install. Only use Blue Locktite and the 5mm on the end of the stud made for quick mounting and torquing.

There are a lot of options out there but after reading a lot I went with the Motorsport Hardware 78mm. They can hold up to a 20mm spacer. Just bought them from Kies because I was getting other items as well. You can go direct to MH if preferred. Also ups the thread to 1.5. I went with the Racing Hex Nuts.

I have yet to track them.
