Hello everyone,
I recently purchased Stltri's minilite wheels that have from what I can tell I think they cone seat inserts vs ball seat. I tried a factory alloy lug bolt with sharpie applied on the bolt face and white out applied on the lug seat. The contact patch seems small. Would I still need 38mm length bolts as that is the length of the factory Fuch 2.0L wheel bolts? Judging by the contact patch of bolt face to insert face will the OEM allow wheel bolts work or should I source some cone seat bolts in the same length? Input would be helpful. See attached photos. Attached image(s)

Yes, studs and nuts are the way to go.
PMB has decent studs and if you install them with red loctite (to the hub only) they will not come out. Toyota is one of my favorite brands, I recommend Toys over everything else. I tell my customers Toyotas will survive the "Zombie apocalypse" and the only thing tougher is a Toyota Land Cruiser. They will survive a direct missile strike... Japanese tanks have "Land Cruiser" in big block letters on the back! I've always preferred the way Toyota does lugs. Hub centric with serious shanks and big assed washers. Stupid strong. |
