    wheel stud question

    might be a stupid question but i was curious if wheel studs got in the way of center caps.
    im looking to do a wheel stud conversion (probably get the vorshlags) and was curious if i could still put on my center caps to my wheel with the stud conversion.

    if you get the correct size studs yes. also i would recommend going with motorsport hardware studs.

      im thinking of getting the vorshlag 75mm wheel studs. will those get in the way of center caps?

      are the motorsport hardware studs stock hex or does it require a key? looking for something thats well built and uses aftermarket key for security purposes.
      are TUV approved Studs any better?(http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=105758)

        Buy from Motorsport Hardware. Ryan is also very helpful and can answer questions for you. You're asking us if studs will get in the way of center caps but we don't even know what wheels you have. Motorsport Hardware has a variety of lug nuts available including wheel locks.

            Talk to Ryan at motorsport hardware, the man is just great.

            Don't quote me but i believe the max (with no spacers) is 57mm to still clear caps.

            Also he just rolled out some new steel forged nuts, they're awesome.
