Lugs/Bolts/Studs... ???
Okay,
So my M Coupe still has the stock OEM wheels, etc on it. I checked out OEM threads online and it says 12x1.5. So I purchased Muteki SR48 lug nuts. Do I need to purchase lug bolts too? If so, what is the minimum length I should purchase (they are fully threaded). And can anyone explain to me why if I purchased them to fit the oem spec of 12x1.5 why I need to purchase bolts? Thanks in advance, Gery |

Your car comes stock with lug bolts that thread into the wheel hubs. They are reusable. If you want to upgrade or make taking your wheels on and off then go to studs and nuts, otherwise stick with the OEM bolts.

Thanks dbarton62. So, I've already purchased the muteki's and they're what I want for the purposes of aesthetics. Now I'm looking to order the wheel studs. I'm looking at both H&R and Turner Motorsports. They offer them in the following lengths:
40, 50, 60, 70mm Which length should I purchase? I'm not looking to have them stick out past the end of my new lug nuts which are 48mm in length, so I'm guessing I should get the 40mm. Is that correct? Or is there a reason I should get a different length? Thanks! |

Can't comment on the length of the studs. You won't want studs any longer than you need for OEM fitment.
Only reason to use longer studs is if you are going to be using spacers. I upgraded my lug bolts and they were 27mm under the head of the bolt to the end of the threads. Do a search on here for wheel studs, the answer to the required length will likely be there. Heres a good one http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthre...ht=Wheel+studs

Thanks again dbarton62. I had looked on that thread and read through it once, but I went back and read through it and followed all their links, which lead to other links, etc, etc. I finally ended up getting the 75mm bullet nose ones. Thanks again for your help.
