I've been considering replacing the lug bolts
for my wheels, have a set of Fuchs and Pedrinis, with screw in studs and lug nuts. Has anyone here gone this route? I'm looking for suggestions, recommendations, opinions, reservations. What size studs do I need, where can I find them? Thanks |

Screw-in studs came on my old 1.8. They sucked--badly.
The rears were too short for complete engagement in alloy wheels. Not safe. The lug nuts had the wrong curvature to seat in the "divots" around the 914 wheels' bolt holes. Adaptor washers were used. Not safe. They would occasionally decide to loosen on their own. Not safe. Then one fine day as I was swapping wheels between cars, one of the studs backed out (instead of the nut unscrewing) along with the threads in the rotor. Whoops. I very very strongly recommend NOT using those. --DD |
