Advice on spacers and stud conversion kit.

Mr.335iCoupe · 11-30-2010, 08:42 PM

I'm planning to put 5mm spacers on my fronts and rears and I'm going to purchase a wheel stud conversion kit.
Will the wheelmate wheel stud conversion kit work? Here's the specs.
Thread Pitch (car): 12x1.5mm
Conversion Pitch: 12x1.5mm
Overall Length: 44mm

Or will I need something like Macht Schnell stud conversion kit? which is longer.

Thanks.

The Macht Schnell Stud Conversion kit is 75mm's in length which leaves you enough room to put a 12mm spacer in there safely. I'll send you a PM on more info.

my question is if you can still run a closed-end lug nut with a stud that long (75mm). I'm getting a new wheel setup soon and want to convert to wheel studs so i can run Rays extended lug nuts.

sorry OP....don't mean to hi-jack your thread...but it's along the same lines.
