    Fitted Wheels Studs

    As Title states, does/has anyone done/got these? I hate Euro step ups with these stupid wheel studs. I am wanting to go fitted, any help/information would be appreciated

    I did it years ago. No problem as long as you buy high tensile bolts that are strong enough.

    I put the bolts in from the back of the hub, making sure the bolt heads didn't rub against anything as the hub rotated.

    Cheers

    Thanks Paul, did you use thread lock to hold the bolts in?? Im guessing you just looked for on that was 12x1.5 pitch? (Whatever the pitch is for a golf)

    I didn't but I was young and stupid. They never came loose though.

    Nowadays I wouldn't even think of doing it without Loctite. It's just that little bit extra that you may need.

    12x1.5 pitch sounds right but don't quote me.
