E90 stud conversion

F80_M3llow · 03-18-2011, 02:19 AM

Ok guys I want to do the stud conversion on my car but I have no idea what size to get and from where. Also I want some silver lug nuts that have locks but I don't know where to start. Can some point me in the right direction.

Why? What is the point of changing bolts to studs? I've always wondered this!

for track purposes or personal preference, but it's faster/easier to dismount and remount the wheels

I know EAS offers a stud conversion kit that includes lug bolts as well. Take a look at their website.

VAC Motorsports and TC Kline have the highest quality stud from what I've been told... as for locks, I can't remember where they sell lock for studs.

I don't think they make locks for studs. I wanted to do the conversion too but since I live in Phily for 2/3 of the year, I do not want to risk not having locks.

Pretty sure any length will work as long as you don't run more than 10mm spacers....don't hold me to that though.

All you people with your wheel locks kill me. All it takes is a cordless impact and a lock removal kit from snap on and I can remove ANY wheel locks you put on your car.

Not sure why you are wondering where to get locks, all Japanese cars have studs and locks to work with them...unless I am confused on what you are asking for

Who carries those things around with them?

If I were a thieve, I would like to travel as light as possible.

You'll already be carrying around bricks.....then you'll be swapping those for wheels.

I found stud locks though.
