You can have like 90mm studs and have that whole 90mm to space out your wheel instead of having to get new bolts everytime you change your spacers out / allows you to stack spacers ( 5mm and 10mm to get 15mm)

interesting!

let me know what you end up with.... that is something i'd like to do so i won't have to keep switching bolts when i change up wheels.

btw... your negative camber looks sick, i have a decent amount too and have yet to install my camber kit to balance things out.

there is a member/sponsor on here who sells a really great kit for our cars:

Well said Dom It makes things way more convenient. IMO I think all cars should use studs instead of lug bolts.

ooohhh. Now it all makes sense - but is it okay to stack spacers like that? :x Sounds a bit sketchy. I can see the value of converting to lug nuts, but at the same time - I dont imagine I will be wheel whoring so much that I will need to do this

Haha its actually not too sketchy to do with studs because theyre just sitting on the studs where as with lug bolts theyre being shanked through which could lead to vibration
