Please help me figure out which stud conversion kit I need

unknownNTT · 10-18-2015, 07:03 PM

I currently have the stock 18" wheels that come with the E92 M3. I recently bought a used set of BC Forged RZ01: 18x10 et25 & 18x11 et30 (275/35r18 & 295/35r18).

I am looking at stud conversion kits to use with the new wheels, but I'm not sure how to decide which one I need. It looks like I need to pick length, material and lugs. My priorities are:

To not look out of place when coupled with the wheels which have a brushed aluminum finish
To have as little weight as possible

Thank you in advance for your recommendations

I think you'll be fine with 75mm if you don't plan to add some spacers. I got theses from Apex racing and they are solid.

No plan for wheel spacers since the RZ01 wheels are already wider than stock. Thank you for the recommendation on the stud kit.

Correct, the 75mm extended length studs will provide plenty of threading to safely accommodate up to 12.5mm spacers. This length is also popular among owners with no intention of ever running spacers.

You may already know this, but for the e9X M3 you will need an M12x1.5 stud kit.
