Is the most common length for a wheel stud for fuchs rims 45mm? Are the rear lugs supposed to be longer at 52mm, or are they also 45mm?
Also, why are wheel studs 7 dollars a stud? Have to buy 20 studs, 140 for studs is a little crazy |

QUOTE(turnaround89 @ Jun 29 2009, 02:04 AM)  Is the most common length for a wheel stud for fuchs rims 45mm? Are the rear lugs supposed to be longer at 52mm, or are they also 45mm? Also, why are wheel studs 7 dollars a stud? Have to buy 20 studs... PET/ETKA says front and rear are the same part number, which is also the same part number for contemporary LWB 911 front & rear. They are good-quality steel, with several machining operations, and they are heat-treated. It would be bad if more than one broke without you noticing it... Like Andy, I just bought a batch of 100mm studs, but as I bought them from a guy with a lathe and a toolpost grinder, had the 'NASCAR' ends ground on. This accomplishes not much from a practical standpoint but they do look cool... If you want stock-length studs they should be available in abundance in the used market. They come 20 to a car no matter the condition of the car. Lots of people press out the stockers and go to longer studs. Check the used-parts purveyors if you need a bargain, but understand you'll be paying for the cost of removal, packaging, and shipping (they're heavy) and you wind up with a used part of unknown provenance. Upgrades like 5-lug conversions do not respond well to corner-cutting. An unplanned repair is one thing - something you budget and schedule for on purpose is not a place to be scrimping on essential parts. (MHO) |
