Longer Wheel Studs

Post by toshers » Sat Feb 28, 2015 7:23 pm

Just a quickie hopefully...

Can anyone tell me what type of studs are fitted to the B8? Is it the tapered or radius seat type?

Looking to order spacers and not sure what longer studs I require.

If anyone can recommend a seller for spacers, studs and lowering springs it would be much appreciated :beerchug:

Standard bolts are M14 x 1.5 with approx. 26mm shaft length so add spacer width to 26mm to get required extended bolt length. Bolts are 13mm radius seat if using with OEM wheels.

Tbh, I would do a stud conversion if I were to start using spacers.

I think that Prestige Wheels can supply spacers; extended bolts & lowering springs and they are very good. If not, Demon Tweeks in Wrexham can supply anything; they're not the cheapest but will price match if pushed.
