Velocita Rosso Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Be careful , one thing to be aware of if enlarging wheel nuts. For standard wheels, OK. However some moderns like Minilites have the bores which restrict the size of nut , then not being able to get wheel brace or socket on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 If you can track them down for sensible money, 7/16" Dolly Sprint studs are perfect… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 just check when you fit them that the forged head may need a small bevel grinding to clear the register on the hub flange or they will not seat fully but its one of the best upgrades you can do ,you wont have any more stripped studs LandRover studs are cheaper Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
