APEX Wheel Hardware

Apex Stud Conversion kits

Try and find a BMW race car that hasn't converted to studs yet. They're stronger, safer, and improve pit stop times significantly. For non race cars, stud conversions make wheel install and removal much easier as you do not have to line up the holes in your wheels, spacers, and hubs before hand threading in a single lug bolt. Simply slide the wheel onto the studs, and let go. Your wheel will no longer spin around the hub, but will instead be lined up correctly.


APEX 75mm and 90mm Stud Kits with silver or black lug nuts

Extended length studs like these allow for a range of spacers to be used without any additional modification. You can easily use 3, 5, 10, 12mm with a 75mm kit or larger 15, 18, 20mm with the 90mm kit, or no spacer at all. When using lug bolts with spacers you are forced to purchase a different length lug for each width spacer. By remaining installed, the studs put less ware on the threads of your hubs. They guarantee there is enough thread engagement, as you can see how many threads were engaged during install. Wheel studs replace your OEM lug bolts by simply threading into your cars hub. Once installed they do not need to be removed when changing or removing wheels. Only the lug bolts are removed similar to many domestic vehicles.

BMW extended lug bolts sold individually

Extended lugs are a must when using spacers, as the standard length lugs are not long enough to thread into the hub properly. If you want new lugs to go with your new wheels and spacers are not needed, then simply select "standard" length from the drop down menu above. If you are using spacers, then select the corresponding length extended lug bolts.

That would be a 90mm stud kit without spacers which is why there is so much stud protruding out. A 75mm stud kit without spacers will have much less stud sticking out of the wheel. The car below is using a 75mm stud kit without spacers.

I have a question, I am looking to get these in 75mm, but with my current set up, I have spacers. Will I have any issues or should I get the 90mm instead?

The APEX 75mm stud kit will accept up to a 12mm wheel spacer and the 90mm stud kit will accept up to a 20mm wheel spacer. We can also provide you with a split kit that would have 10x 75mm studs and 10x 90mm studs.

Cool I decided to go with the 75mm. I made the order last night. Thanks for your help.

agreed. a very simple mod that is highly effective, adds strength and peace of mind. that being said is there any rule of thumb for replacement intervals for studs? number of track days, or time?
