Stud kit suggestions? 75/82/90 mm?

paradocs98 · 02-14-2011, 04:39 AM

Posted this earlier in Wheels and Tires section, but didn't get a lot of replies--maybe I'll have more luck here since trackday guys are more likely to use stud kits for frequent wheel changes...

I'm likely going to use 12.5mm spacers all around on my OEM ZCP wheels. Any suggestions as to 75mm vs 90mm stud kits? Does the 75mm stud have enough threads for that setup with spacers? Does the 90mm stud stick out too far? Is the BimmerWorld 82mm kit a good compromise? Planning on Turner, BimmerWorld, or TC Kline. Also, the Turner kit has an Allen-key tip for installation and torquing, while some of the others do not. How do you install the other stud types that just have a closed bullet nose and torque them down properly? I've tried searches here and on Google without success... Thanks!

Double nut the ones without Allen heads.

I started with 75 then swapped them out for the 90. Was tired of switching them out when I ran spacers so I went with the longest ones. They stick out a little but I don't mind the look.

I've always mounted with Locktite. Are you saying you removed them often?

I have 75mm ones coming and hope to be able to run a 12mm spacer on the street.

75mm studs are long enough for up to 12 mm spacers. Anything over and you should go with longer studs.

Vorshlag also sells a nice set of studs. I have them on my E36 track car.

I have the TMS 75mm stud..I recently put on the Turner 12.5mm spacers. I asked on this forum before I put it on, a few vendors told me it was alright. If it's otherwise, I hope someone chimes in so I don't have my wheels flying off.

OEM 19's with 12.5mm Turner spacers, 75mm studs, and Project Kics R40
