Stud conversion kit

Post by yipikayee » Tue Mar 09, 2021 4:27 pm

Hi

I have style 32 18" dished set of wheels on my Z and i was looking at stud conversion kits.
Never used one before so its all new to me, i want to put them on for looks :wink: found this products:

http://catune.co.uk/single_prod-cHJvZF9 ... pZD04.html

They offer 44/68/75mm ones, could anyone recommend what lenght would be appropriate? I dont have nor i plan to use spacers if that relevant
If they are no good, please share what brand you are using

Thanks

they look cool, very motorsport! Having a stud conversion kit would have made things a lot easier when i used to swap to track wheels and tyres every time i did a trackday.

the website suggests 44mm is fine for running no spacers, and 68mm run up to 12mm spacers. though... personally i see no downside of getting 68mm studs, assuming you have a deep socket set so you can still install the nuts.

i agree, it will suit the sporty look of the Z a lot :)
i need to buy a new socket anyway so will go for deep one
