These screw-in wheel studs can be used on BMWs that use an M12 wheel bolt from the factory. These will work with up to 15mm hub-centric spacers, or no spacer at all.

This catalog entry is for A SINGLE WHEEL STUD ONLY.

Why use wheel studs instead of wheel bolts? Several reasons:

• Wheel studs are required by many racing bodies - because they are a better, safer way to ensure proper wheel engagement.
• Wheel studs are safer than wheel bolts because you can SEE when the stud is engaging the lug nut completely - a longer wheel stud sticks through the lug nut. A wheel bolt? Its a mystery... only way to know if is engaging the wheel hub completely is to remove it and count the threads when installing
• Wheel studs allow the use of a variety of hub-centric wheel spacers, or no spacers at all. Longer wheel bolts have to be tailor made to each wheel spacer width.
• Wheel studs stay engaged into the hub fur their entire life cycle. The repetitive installation and removal of wheel bolts can cause accelerated wear on the threaded holes on the (expensive replace) wheel hubs.
• Installing wheels using wheel studs is considerably easier than when using wheel bolts, as the studs will locate the wheel while the nuts are being fastened.
• Our Competition wheel studs have an unthreaded bull nose that acts as a "speed start", allowing faster lug nut installation and faster pit stops.

Lug nuts are sold separately.
Wheel stud installation kits are sold separately (Red Thread locker + Anti-Seize + 5.5mm Allen wrench).
