    Wheel stud conversion

    OK, my new lug nuts have now arrived and I know what lengths of studs I can accommodate. Anyone know the best place to buy M12 x 1.5 screw in studs so that I can convert my hubs?

    Thanks

    Cheers guys. cliokongen - the H&R ones look just like the kind of thing I am after, but on their site I couldn't find any way of actually ordering them. Do you know any retailers for those studs in the UK, or a website I could buy them on, etc.?

    Cheers

    Cheers maxiboy. I've got the nuts already and doing a search on those Grayston ones in your link I've found somewhere flogging them for 99p each, so think I'll go with them!

    Nothing much wrong with bolts. It's just that I'll be swapping the wheels quite a lot (it's a track/hillclimb car) and I find studs easier for wheel location. Plus I'm expecting a slight saving in unsprung weight, as my new nuts are under 25g each!

    The studs go through them. (and they look good)

    For H&R bolts - look at page 2 in the link.

    Come in several different lenghts (if you plan on using spacers)
