I've always preferred wheels studs to bolts so I'm looking to do a wheel stud conversion on my 35iS. Anyone know of any serious gotchas before I embark on ordering things etc.
 
I dont see the point.
Its not like you take your wheels off every week, and even if it was to make wheel changes easier, there is a rod that can be screwed into the hub to position the wheel and once all the other bolts are in you swap the rod for a bolt.
 
I didn't ask for someone's opinion on doing the conversion. I'm asking if there are any known gotchas on the Z4 :nahnah:
 
Did this this the other day to my Z. No real probs. Was advised to clean bolt holes well with cotton buds and same for bolts. Then used some locktite on bolts before screwing in. Fitted spacers too so can switch different spacers without having to mess about cutting bolts etc. Plus I have a extended stud kit with locking nut too. Overall pleased with results. Lets see how i get on
