Locking Bolts With Spacers

markjord · 08-10-2012, 04:15 AM

Sorry if it's been covered - still can't figure how to search on the iPhone. I have 18 and 15 mm spacers and need some locks. Probably simpler to stick with bolts rather than nuts. Any idea on the best solution? Wheels are getting nicked more in the UK now.

It' time to run a wheel stud kit. 90mm to be exact, that way you can have a lug and lock set. Makes wheel changes a breeze as well.

Right I'll do that. Any recommendation on whose nuts to use (to coin a phrase!)? And where to get the studs.

Try Turner. They make good stuff.

I'm personally using studs from Motorsports Hardware and KicsR40 lugs. If you're gonna track the car, it's recommended to run steel lugs vs. the aluminum hybrid ones.
