Hey ya'll I was looking and unless I missed it, I don't see a thread conversion thread. So I decided to make one since I've been looking into POSSIBLY do this. So here is the format:

1) what brand studs
2) what length studs
3) what lugs
4) what length lugs
5) pics

this should be pretty up front and easy. So lets see them!!!!

don't doubt you one bit. I, and I'm sure others, would love to actually see different set ups, colors, brands, etc...in making a decision on what size, color, etc...they will go with.

heres a link to my thread. I went with the 75mm bullet nose studs. If I were to do it again I would probably do the 90mm bullet nose studs, just to get a little more stud sticking out.

Great timing lol just had some of my stuff apart. heres some facts and specs for you bud. These are 75mm length 12x1.5 (e9x) thread pitch 40mm open end blox type ti nuts, theyre basically all the ti nuts you can buy from alibaba.com. they just rebrand them. Heres some pix with no spacers used, if you plan on using a project kik/project Mu r40's on the 75mm then they will be completely flush with the stud.

I DID NOT use any red/blue loctite on the studs cause i wanted them to be removed easily.

Great thread cuz I was curious also on how other people's setups look before I do this on my car since I wanna do 90mm studs but need to know what lug sizes would fit flush with it.

That depends on the thickness of the wheel and if your running spacers

do you think you could run a 48mm long lug nut with the 75mm stud (no spacers) or go with a longer stud?

[#Tee]

A 48mm open end would go past the stud a few mm's. so its up to you if you want the stud poking out.

Who wants my RSD 90mm black bullet nose, 12x1.5 lugs with black conical nuts, I bought them from a member but never having the time or need to use them.

Muteki burning Blue SR48 open with locks, extra long stud conversion

[leemik]

I don't know if I would use Titanium studs on the street.. they may be stronger and lighter than steel but they don't bend or warp under stress like steel.. they split and shatter. Inspect them often I guess.. Ideally studs should be changed out every couple of seasons..

90mm Turner studs..I think they re-brand ARP...with Project Kics NeoChro R40 lugs..

thanks, my real concern is that if it does poke a little will there be enough threading on the 75mm stud for the 48mm open end lug?

Yes plenty, all the threading will be there . That extra mm's is only due to a taller nut. It could be a 69mm nut and it wont matter.

[edirtaynine]

im just posting because tee said the word "nut"

[P Casey]

I don't like how the stud sticks past lug.
