    who has studs?

    I need to order a set of wheel studs asap. I am thinking of going with the Vorshlag kit, but I dont know if I should get the 50mm or 80mm kit.



    What is everyone else running, where did you get them, and how do you like them?

    What kind of setup are you running? How big of spacers? I recieved my kit and haven't put them on yet. The quality of the piece really looks good but I know that some people (BigD) said that some of the threads have to be cleaned up when you install them (not a big deal though).

    I will be running 18mm spacers so I went with the 80mm kit

      Are you going to be running any spacers? I ordered the 57mm kit, and I'll be running 8mm spacers on ET35 wheels, and they'll be long enough. You won't need the 80's, most likely.

        With the wheels I am looking at now I will not need spacers which is why I was looking at the 50mm kit, but I was trying to decide how far out the 80mm studs would stick in case I ended up with wheels needing spacers down the road.

          With no spacers don't get the 80mm. But if you think that you might run them later and get the 80mm the one thing that I have heard, that might give you and idea of the length, you cant put the OEM center caps on with 80mm stud kit

            will the 57mm work with a 10mm spacer?

              Right from their website:

              57mm studs will work well in stock applications, and allow for 5-12mm spacer; 80mm studs allow for 5-25mm spacer use

                    Yeah, I got them from Flying Brick Performance, they sell the Vorshlags. Order from them, suport a site sponsor and a fellow E30 owner's site.

                        That just looks ridiculous to me. It looks like what it is, like your wheel studs are way too long.

                              They're 57mm, just so you are aware. Mine just arrived today, they are very nice. I can't wait to install them this weekend.
